I wonder what the big chef union leaders on over a hundred grand would do if their job was on the line,if people are losing their jobs over this that's just not right. There jobs are on the line every time a union leadership election is called.

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. I think that is the thing that has annoyed me most from both sides, the pretence. Both pretending it is for my (the passenger's) benefit when we all know they have their own political agendas.

nick genuinely thinks that posting s*** off of facebook, from one of the two unions involved in the dispute, actually constitutes a reasoned argument. It's putting one side of the argument from the actual people inviolved in the dispute. Or would you rather not hear / read their perspective.

From the moment they said this strike is all about safety, they've had no credible argument. We all know what it's about. I don't want you to post union propaganda anymore than I'd want a manager at Southern to do the same. Get your own opinion and stop posting s*** memes, links and blogs and, most importantly, anything you ever see on facebook. Edited by Stuk (16 Dec 2016 5.18pm)

Is ensuring passengers travelling safely not part of their agenda then?

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. I am now going to retire from this thread,otherwise I will probably get a red card.....words fail me.
