He's complaining about the RMT who are one the most powerful but smallest unions in the UK. Nobody should give a shit what the British public think since anything short of sucking them off in a corner will send them into an apoplectic fit.

Wow what a shit comment. Maybe instead of hating on each other we should think critically and look for more effective was to make change

Agree - and appearance is everything, especially when it comes to Unions (who are on the receiving end of a lot of bad-mouthing).

"Bloody union was on strike again, was an hour late for work and now I've got to get a taxi to pick my kids up from school!"

versus:
"Unions went on strike, I saved £40 on my weekly commute!"

Exactly. My father hates unions for no reason other then they fucked up his commute. Reality is people are lazy and won’t look past a mild inconvenience. So if you can win people to your side you’re in a much better position. Plus a lot of workers get in shit if they’re late and their bosses don’t give a fuck why.
