    I would not disagree as a customer but the figures don't back that up.

    So i wonder what happened to horse and cart manufactures then? should we have banned the motor car as they probably lost their jobs
    Bet I could come up with loads of jobs which are no longer here.

    Typical union member statement! Bet these people were thankful when they gained employment.
    Now you want to bite the hand that feeds you
    Thats what the right wing gutter press keep banging on about
    We should be thankful to have a job and not even think about going on strike

    Well Les in the real world where company owners award themselves with bumper pay rises and share options its only right that the worker on the shop floor should get something

    You seem to think that workers should be seen and not heard

    Do they all know what the management are doing wrong and how their industry could be run much more efficiently
    Workers applied for these jobs because they had good terms and conditions and thats what they are fighting for now
    What did you expect them to do = say oh great my jobs going next year

    Its ok for the Fat cats to laugh all the way to the bank

    TFL transport boss Peter Hendy made £652,000 last year

    Ahhhh, I think I can see where the animosity is coming from now, because the poor tube driver are only on a £52,000 basic

    Before you go any further, you may want to read this:-

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hendy

    Especially the bit about him starting off as a graduate trainee and then working his way up the ladder

    You have hit a sore point with "graduate trainees"

    We get this idiots employed at my place and most of them dont have a clue
    Because these clowns have been on some "wonder" degree course it makes it ok for them fresh out of university to be put it charge of people who have been doing the same job for years

    Any decent company promotes from within with people who have worked up through the ranks
    Not wet behind the ear ignorant x graduates

    Peter hendy's salary is obscene and offensive to any traveling passenger
