Me, I really like trade unions. I like the right to strike and I believe it has been massively eroded over the years.
But strikes like To view the link you have to Register or Login - which I read as trying to raise the spirit of Bob Crow RIP - are exactly why the unions will continue to lose their powers under a Tory government. 229 votes - a majority of only 8 people - can stop the Tube??
Anyone want to persuade me this is not a stunt?
Drivers on London Underground have voted to go on strike over the sacking of a colleague for failing an alcohol breath test.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union said the type of breathalyzer used did not account for people with diabetes.
Members voted by 229 votes to 221 to take action. The turnout was 42%.
London Underground (LU) said the driver had been dismissed for failing two random breath tests which were not affected by the condition.
It said the case had gone through a full disciplinary hearing and appeals process, as well as a separate independent director's review
