Commuters to stage protest at 'shambolic' Southern Rail
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport...71171.html

This whole situation has gotten extremely embarrassing for the franchisee, and it can't be doing the reputation any good at all. I hope they get back round the table and resolve the dispute once and for all, and they may be someway closer to resolving the underlying issues.

They certainly aren't doing it by alienating their staff.

But only £57m on revenue of over £2billion, so not that much really, was it only 2.6%?

Obviously not enough to afford £20m of improvements on the Southern network.
800k towards new staff and they cant cover that out of £57m...

On what grounds? You can't just outlaw strike action because it causes disruption. It's met the criteria for the worst anti-TU laws in Europe, yet still not good enough for the Government.

To be honest, I don't think it'd stop the Southern drivers anyway. It'd just mean more wildcat strikes. POA members walked out a few weeks ago, and they're banned from striking.

Quite how he would manage to implement it amongst employees of privately owned companies, is anyone's guess. If they were employed by the state, then thats obviously a different kettle of fish. But we all know that wont happen under a tory watch.

The man is a buffoon, his previous record and his letter to Johnson about TfL sums up his attitude.
