We share your pain, Tube and Railway workers aren't always the most popular of people here in the UK.

The transit workers are merely one facet of the overall issue; the courts in the 1940s and 1950s in the US should NEVER have allowed public workers to form unions.

City governments are service providers, NOT job providers.

If you do not like purchasing a car from a unionized car company, you have a choice - with basic city services like schools, transit, police, etc - there is NO choice, you MUST deal with the product offered.

Further, municpalities have a fundamental responsibility to provide these services at the lowest possible cost, i.e, keeping taxes low - and thereby preventing corruption. Anything that raises the costs of providing these services is unacceptable, and that includes unions.
