err! someones trying to confuse us again,the way it works is that tube trains dont ply for hire -nor do you have to pre-book ,also they run on rails and not roads; every union has a branch for each trade,ie professional drivers branch,for drivers.comming within the framework of the GMB the RMT represents rail, maritime,and transport workers,so if we follow GBCs example as stated all ships have stopped work in solidarity with tube staff (i think a wind- up is being perpetuated

The foundation of the whole trade union movement and ideal is that the working man AS ONE shall stand shoulder to shoulder against oppression by the ruling classes, not use one brothers actions as business opportunity....

WELL SAID! but the actions of the thatcher government have made it illegal to stand shoulder to shoulder in support of other trades disputes, (plus you cant get the staff these days )

We had Thatcher as PM from 4 May 1979 till November 1990

GET OVER IT!

How long will she be blamed for everything that Labour have screwed up. given that Blair was PM from 2 May 1997 to 27 June 2007, i.e. longer than Thatcher....

Havent Labour had long enough to reinstate the powers of the unions?.....

BTW, Maggie got the title of "Thatcher the Snatcher" over the loss of free school milk, did you know schools still get a "milk allowance" - but take the cash and blow it....

Fact remains that secondary action was made illegal by Thatcher's government in the early 1980's.
Who didn't change the legislation afterwards doesn't change that.

....And given the pointless militancy from the unions, holding the country to ransom at the time, it was one of the best things she did......And she did a lot of good things, IMHO.

The point is as a self-employed person, you have the choice whether to work or not on days your fellow Union members (whatever they are) are taking strike action.

But you don't, you end up with one section of the Union making a profit from anothers dispute. United we stand . . . blah blah.
This is a classic example, you have one group of people who transport people around London withdrawing their labour, and another group of people who transport people around London earning from it.
And they are in the same union paying the same contributions.

That's why Unions are so yesterday, their spines collapsed about 20 years ago, but the Mrs Thatcher tale is always a good cop out tale.

Remind why those nasty laws haven't been repealed during the last 12 years of a Labour government with massive majorities?

it does when the unions crawl up labours rear end hoping one day for a return to old labour without noticing new labour is just old tory...

and never mind that union subs have "subbed" the labour party coffers...

Well it was busy, and the money was good, but I earned it today.

I've never seen traffic like it, everyone with a Sat Nav seems to think they can negotiate London and find a parking space that doesn't exsist.

Result? Hours and hours of delays caused by clowns and their sat navs who didn't have a clue where they were going.

Sounds like our competition.
