Two of two You really don't get it, do you? Most rational people accept that Southern are rubbish. But they also have a lot of criticism of the unions (which is allowed). The bit that you all conveniently fail to address in your bile, aimed at one side or the other, is the effect this has on the travelling public. You seem happy to accept that detriment as a by product of why the unions are great and then wonder why they don't have public support. It really isn't rocket science is it and no matter how many one sided papers are posted that does not change anything. At one time people thought the world was flat but then some came to accept that there were other sides. It isn't flat, you know! Edited by Helmet46 (16 Dec 2016 4.18pm)

nick genuinely thinks that posting s*** off of facebook, from one of the two unions involved in the dispute, actually constitutes a reasoned argument.
Optimistic as ever |

Another strike day and more chaos. Good to see that many fellow Cityers got in, worked hard before the 1/1 log jam and enjoyed a good lunch. The sad thing still is that neither Southern nor the Unions give a s*** about their passengers. More misery next week.

Likewise the mainstream press and southern have hardly been impartial have they. take from both and draw your own confusion. There are plenty of people who will just say 'bloody unions' without having any understanding of what the issues are, as there who don't see the rail companies side at all. I've looked at all sides and come to my conclusion that the whole thing is a union busting exercise. Originally posted by elgrande I don't travel on southern( apart from every other Saturday from London Bridge to NJ),But if people who use the service everyday to get to their place of employment are worried about losing their jobs,then that is wrong...so as a lefties surely you can't agree with that...or do they not matter.
Yes, it's a bloody joke that people can't get to work. It's a shame that some employers don't show a little bit of understanding in what are exceptional circumstances. I think they're c***s for sacking people because they can't get to work through no fault of their own. Perhaps if people organised themselves in such a way in the workplace so as not to have their employer take the pish ...Oh hang on that would be a union and they're mired in the 70's and bringing the country to it's knees.

Yeah, well done. Great job. There goes lots of people's livelihoods. They must be so proud. And years ago we opened and closed the doors ourselves. And the trains were just as long and they felt just as busy. Tossers.
