Mayor of London should be supporting Tube strikes?

Just to put things into perspective... The tube strikes on Monday were actually nothing to do with the drivers. Station staff were striking over job cuts, which in turn effects the public because if there is less staff on the underground it makes it more dangerous...

The only DLR stations that are manned are the ones conjoined the tube network. Places like London City Airport, Poplar and Canary Wharf-Heron Quays are very busy stations that get by just fine without station staff.

Completely unmanned? I didn't realise that. I'm not sure if that's reason enough to go unmanned across the entire tube network though. It could be the recipe for absolute disaster! That's a hell of a lot of stations covering the entire city and suburbs and serving millions of customers daily.

Yeah, DLR stations are much simpler in structures than your typical tube station. And of course we'll never be free of station attendants at places like Stratford, Waterloo, the Heathrow Terminals and all the National Rail stations like Marylebone and Euston. In general though, it's totally feasible that the number of station attendants actually required to make the tube run safely will be a fraction of what it is now.

Sadiq Kahn the Labour Mayor of London condemns tube strikes:

As a Labour mayor he should be supporting these strikes. There was once a time when a labour politician would have sat around the brazier in solidarity with the strikers. In this era of momentum, more politicians need to show their solidarity with strikers.

There's actually always a staff member on DLR trains, other countries run fully automated trains however without incident.

Entitled *****, they should have their wages docked for going on strike

Its quite straight forward.

Don't like the pay/conditions in your current job?

Get a different one.

Thats what I've always done,or threatened too and sometimes got what I wanted and if not, walked.

Then again, I dont believe the world owes me a living.

President Reagan had the right idea, sack the ****ers!

Whilst I disagree with the striking I think it's a pretty poor argument to think people can just quit their job and get another one instantly. What about the period in between when they have rent/mortgage to pay and mouths to feed?

You can't just stroll into places and pick up jobs on the spot. Especially at a pay level required to live in London.
