Tube Strike Again and Again and Again 

So today they decided to go on strike because they wouldn't get paid triple their wages and get a day in lieu for working on Boxing Day. Did they not know what they signed up for when they joined? For the past five years I've had to work through the whole of Christmas, only getting Christmas Day off (and we even had to take out one of our holiday allowances for that, until two years ago), because this is the way working shifts works. If we'd gone on strike every time we didn't get everything we wanted from the company, they'd fire our arses and just get in someone else to do our job. Working for the council/state certainly has more benefits than most jobs in the private sector, so it's time they STFU and did the job we're paying them to do.

Yes, I am pissed off now. They've wasted a lot of time and money for a lot of people, businesses and the city itself, and then add insult to injury by suggesting striking during Christmas, and worst of all, during the 2012 Olympics. At some point they need to grow the fuck up.
