Anyway, back to Crow - a brilliant leader. Well paid? Took holidays? You fucking bet he was and did. And deservedly so.
The whole "he takes luxury holidays in Brazil" thing really gets on my tits. Why shouldn't a guy like Bob Crow go on nice holidays?
Well, basically, because he's dead. Would be a weird sort of travel company that took cadavers abroad for holidays.

Tricky one for me this but I will do my best.

in taxpayer funded housing to boot (that really is taking the piss whichever way you look at it, social housing for a man on a six figure salary? really?).

By living in social housing he would have been paying the rent for that property, that rent was designed to go back into the pot for the refurbishment and replacement of social housing and to subsidise the cost to the public purse for providing housing for those that for whatever reason could not provide housing for themselves.

Or failing that he could have bought his own house and let a homeless person occupy his council house. You cant defend the indefensible I'm afraid, the man was a hypocrite. He was a character though and its a shame for anyone to die so young..!
I dont know much about his housing situation .but before you start .dont forge thow many houses /flats ect our Ministers /Mps .Royal Parasites ect have at least he worke dfor what he got
 
Crow most recently opposed the ticket office closures yet statistics showed they're being used less and less. There were to be no compulsory redundancies and staff redeployed to be used more efficiently on the station itself. Whether they become any more helpful, knowledgeable and polite than the current dregs working there is yet to be seen. The two day strikes absolutely cripple commuting in London and make a usually stressful journey even worse.

I was last the member of a union in 2005 when I worked for CIS on Miller Street. They were about as useful as a chocolate fireguard when the redundancies and redeployment came in and no work place since has had such a group. We've never needed them.

I suggest you look up the real figures rather than the propaganda.

I'm sick of the hypocrisy from Boris who wouldn't meet bob to negotiate, forcing him to ring his radio show. I met him a few times and he guided me, took the piss out of me and bought me the odd drink. He's a great loss to the TU movement. A man that wasn't afraid to stand up if his members required it. He followed his members lead which is more than i can for others. I'm going to be fighting at the union AGM to make sure we have the right person in place to follow his legacy. Someone who will be led by the members and not by small left wing parties fighting between themselves to get someone to move their political agenda over the people they represent.

Unions are corrupt, self-serving and usually run by contradictory left wing dinosaurs. Working for the Co-Op was the biggest mistake I've ever made and the union for such a "workers workers workers" organisation were shambolic. Since then, I've worked for global companies and we've had no need for a union because things are fine.

If I felt I'd been unfairly dismissed then I'd take it to a tribunal through a good solicitor.

And we have a winner of the, squeeze the most, tired, boring, cliches in to one sentence, competition.

The result was so comprehensive he won both runners-up spots too despite only one entry.
