Tube strike: How Londoners faced the disruption
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 фев 2022
- All London Underground lines were suspended after thousands of workers went on strike.
About 10,000 workers from the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union walked out in a dispute over job losses and pensions.
Last-ditch talks to avert the strikes broke up after only 20 minutes.
The RMT union has declared a second 24-hour strike will take place on Thursday, unless a deal can be reached.

The public should stop showing that they are affected by these appalling behaviours. Everyday we see the overstaffed underground stations. Please gocompare their salaries, free travel for whole family and their pension on FOI, for the very poor service they provide.
It's rly not that bad...
Nightmare. Bad weather, crumbling infrastructure, rip off commuting costs, high rent, high density living, overcrowded city, no social distancing, poor recycling rate, poor air quality, traffic jams, stress and lots of friction between commuters. Badly run indeed.
@@prp3231 u are defintley over exgerating there and that is not up for debate.
That's what happens when you have a decent union fighting for its members.
Imagine if the same were for Nurses.
@@prp3231 That would describe London in the 1980s and 1990s under the Tories.
No sympathy, I've just found out they're on over £50,000 per annum. I get half that!
greedy priks
Your Joking, more money they get, the less they do, this is why uk is in a Mess
You need to move to a different job that pays better.
They’re striking because of pensions not pay. Pension and pay are two seperate things.
@@hc7092 we have found our train driver lol
@@hc7092 lol if you're earning that much your private pension should be fine, let alone assets
The tube needs complete automation
this is so true. this has to happen. If they did a fund raiser, the pubic would pay, just for the automation.
I witnessed half a dozen arguments on the bus in 3 days. That's how stressful and miserable London is. So sad what London has become
I am all for worker’s right, but these constant strikes are literally just pushing for driverless trains. ATO has proven to be effective. So it’s only a matter of time…
If they can afford to strike they've got enough worker rights. Ever notice how retail staff don't strike?
And WFH.
ATO don't need driver,but it need more and more support workers
They should just leave the barriers at train stations opened. That would teach tfl a lesson and only tfl are harmed
Rayann - So if the ATO causes the train to stop and fail in a deep level tunnel section mid rush hour in August with over a thousand passengers on board who would you suggest moved the train before either passengers pass out? ( or worse )
Who thought it was a good idea to cram as many office blocks into a small area then make people from far and wide to travel in by using crumbling transport infrastructure? Let's build more office blocks ?
How does recycling work?
What about air pollution?
How does social distancing work?
How does the crumbling health service cope?
Very smart
London's transport infrastructure si hardly crumbling lol it's one of the best systems in the world

You can't compare a bus driver to a train driver.

@@hughw2377 Adrian's going to have driverless buses in his world too.
They got them already they have to have a driver in case they break down which they do often .

I’ve come here looking for Covid. Has anyone seen him? He suddenly disappeared just before everyone starting telling us war is coming 🤔
Well this video isn’t about Covid or War so look elsewhere. You’ll find them.

Look at how they've frozen bank accounts for Canadians. Same thing the CCP is doing for citizens not in China. It's dire
It's not been a strike but a RMT special operation.
Sack the Lot of them ! They is 1000 of People that would love that job, Just sack them Dddeeerrr
there should be a law to get rid of train staff. Many people want to do this job.

@@stephenjon3502 plenty of people in the world to take this job. Import them over here. The transport system is for the people, it's not for greedy train or tube drivers, who go on strike for the last 10 years, when they want and whenever they want. These people are scuumm
@@fearless6947 What job do you do?
@@stephenjon3502 none of your business, that's what job I do. We are talking about the London Transport and they are holding the commuters hostage. These people are scuummm. They will do it again and again and they will never stop. Enough is enough
When most of the rail service can’t even run their company properly and get paid above average wages for a very low skilled job. I find it quite embarrassing tbh.
About queen and masons: On December 31, 2018, I was involved in a gas explosion, a terrorist attack organized by ISIS in Russia in Magnitogorsk due to the fact that I smoked weed (calling it gas) and masturbate on a guy photo with a song from a James Bond movie there was a line “always hit the floor”, in the house where it happened the terrorist attack on the 7th entrance, the floors on all floors were blown up. (Mag) because I loved to sing Muslim Magomayev, (NITO) - Nikita Topchy, it’s me. Summer of 2020 they managed a terrorist attack in Beirut. The ship in Beirut belonged to Igor Grechushkin, at the age of 17-19 I knew a girl with the name Vika Grechka and went a couple of times to the Beirut restoraunt. Judging by the actions of the Queen of Great Britain, who gave me instructions what to do to be left alone, it can be assumed that she is above the Masonic Priory and terr attacks is all at her will, same as coronavirus
Theses unions make me laugh, it's always the same excuse, pay,pensions and conditions!!Well you should be grateful you have such a cushy job,you should be damn grateful you have a bloody pension,I'm self employed and don't have a pension or paid holiday. Stop causing londoners such disruption and get on with your piss easy job!!!
That's your choice to be self employed. Change the record about pensions and paid holidays. You pay peanut NI contributions and can claim back shedloads with the right accountant.
You will still get a state pension at the state pension age and that's with hardly paying anything into the coffers.
If you think being a train driver with the responsibility is cushy apply for it and stop moaning about your holidays.
@@stephenjon3502 doesn't really matter anyway as we are all going to be killed in a nuclear war in a few weeks
@@stephenjon3502 i work in construction. there are hardly any companies who would take you on the books especially at higher rates, nobody wants the responsibility. once you are established in your trade, the choice of whether you are employed or self employed is not really yours

All his diesel, tools, new van & equipment, food, travel is claimed for. He then grumbles some more about a pension that he won't have to live in his holiday home in a country he voted to make it harder for him to travel to and stay in with his nice new blue passport that's now made in Poland. Mind you he's ' discovered ' that his wife's grandmother was Irish so despite being a raving patriotic brexit supporter I will give you 3 guess what he's applying for??..

thats the best bet that why i move out of london
THE sooner driverless Tube trains are introduced on London Underground the better.
The capital has been brought to a standstill this week thanks to the militant Trots running the RMT union and their greedy drivers who earn a staggering £60,000 a year plus bonuses for a job that largely entails deciding when to close the train doors and when to leave the station.
These idiots know the post pandemic recovery is fragile yet still they decided to cripple London putting other people’s jobs at risk.
Enough now! if those drivers don’t want their cushy job Boris should sack them and replace them all with people who want to work. He’d have the entire country behind him.
WOW. Sounds like you've swallowed The Express whilst falling onto a copy of The Telegraph. How dare those communists earn so much money? In fact let's just pay everyone £15 k per year and give everyone a cap to doff to keep you Bojo the clown fanboys happy?
Saying tube drivers earn bonuses proves you're either silly enough to believe the shite written in the RW press or is just making things up. Likewise on your experise on what the job entails when you've obviously never done it.
As for another driverless wet dream, ask anyone who works on the tube to tell you how long a small section of engineering works takes then throw the usual cock ups. Over runs, lack of funding, signaling systems and stock compatibility then you might realise that for the last 10 years you've been fed drivle by the press that's owned by half a dozen billionare " patriots" all who live in tax havens outside the UK.
You didn't go out and clap at 8pm every Thursday as well like the other sheep by any chance Johno?
"Cuz once again, the tube's on strike"
We are learning to do without the tube very fast , soon we won’t use it at all !
Ha Ha, go on then people are starting to work from home
I am confused why they strike all they do is sit and watch RUclips.
The London Tube knows they can bargain because how impotant their position are. If they can bargain for more, they will. While a Londoner who is trying to earn a living wage given the high livin cost, the London Tube decided to go strike.
Do any Londoners still live in London ?
I'll never have respect for the tube drivers anymore.... Shame
Wow, shocking! How much money do the want? I am a driver on LNER myself!!!!
Mmmm. Is that the same LNER with a top salary of 70,000?
@@stephenjon3502 The starting salary at LNER is 28,000, which does rise up to 70,000 after you are qualified. But as LU train operators only really press the doors and the ATO buttons, that is way too high, I think that 50,000+ is way too much for that. We actually have to manually drive a train.
@@Chewscore You are talking bollox or trolling. Not all lines are ATO and those that are still require the trains to be manually driven at some point. IF you are a genuine train driver then you would be familiar with the fact that all drivers on any system need to be aware of safety procedures and the ability to rectify faults on a train - please stop going down the Evening Standard twaddle of just pressing buttons as that's nonsense - you are being paid for your knowledge. Signal sections on your line are multi aspect and much further apart so one could say its far easier to drive a train on a mainline than it is on the underground.
Also bear in mind that 70k for a driver in the North of England is probably the equivalent to being in the top 1% of earners when the cost of living in London is 10 times higher. 350k in London would get you a shed.
I also take it you are a union member - how did you think that a qualified drivers salary got to £70k on your line? Did you all go outside your homes at 8pm every Thursday and bang pots and pans and arrive at such a salary?
@@stephenjon3502 I know that all drivers ARE safety professionals, because I am one myself. I know drivers have to know how to actually drive a train or handle an emergency and to be honest I couldn't careless about it. I do it for my love of trains, I don't care about money. I am a union member but, I don't engage in strikes or union events. It IS easier to drive on the mainline, because you don't have those green stop boards although we have to stop accurately, even if we overshoot the marker by a meter, the doors will still open. Rather on the LU you need to aim for the green bit on the board to be able to open the doors. There is something that you can respect about LU train 'operators' as they don't get the luxury of sunlight most of the time!
@@Chewscore " you know that drivers have to drive a train and handle emergencies but couldn't care less about it"
What's that all about? Doesn't make any sense.
As for driving trains for the love if it and not for the money I'm starting to wonder if you've bothered to check to see why the tube workers voted heavily to strike as this one isn't about pay but pensions and conditions, but then as you quoted you don't get involved with any union activities including strikes.
Take it you don't refuse your pay increases every year though do you?
By the way - over 60% of the tube is in the open. Some lines have multi aspect signalling and run on the same lines or adjacent to main line trains or surface stock so have to know those rules and regulations too.
Answer: get rid of Sadiq
The problem is not the strikes but the country as a whole not standing together..everyone in London should stand together and everyone who uses the tube go on strike from work the days the tube workers are on strike..this will only be resolved when big companies in the city are effected and start making a loss and then they won’t be long getting sadiq khan to get his finger out and get it sorted.until then the strikes are a useful as a goose farting in the fog
BAN STRIKES! End of
Can't London hire qualified train drivers from India with non strikeable contracts
No.
Glad I drive.
And that’s why the best thing I did this year was get a 125
I’ve actually had enough of this now if you don’t like the job then don’t do it simple as that. I’ve had jobs that I’ve hated in the past but I don’t just strike because I don’t like it
yoah thats what the strike is, they are not doing the job for a day to show you how much value it provides .
People who work on tube . You should be fired . Look at what’s happening in world today ,is this really necessary?
Once again the tubes on strike
The RMT and its members clearly do not give a toss about their customers or of the effects that their stupid strikes have on ordinary peoples everyday lives. So the power of this union should be smashed and its erstwhile members sacked and replaced by responsible people who want to work and who believe in customer service
RMT sit in a air condition office corning paper clips all day
And you don’t give a toss about RMT. I guess it works both ways.
@@hc7092 incel
I faced it by staying at home 😁
Please please please, If TFL or Government transport are not treated well, than these people just need to leave the job. Not necessary need to strike.try to get new job
Call in khan's dad he's a bus driver.
Was it worth going back to the office, what happened to the pandemic, I thought we were going 2 have a new normal, were working from home was going to be more common place.
I heard that they are worried about the local economy so want people to start working at their workplace. They are worried about the fall in revenue from transport fares, parking fines, congestion charging fees, etc. It was never about cutting air pollution, the economy comes first.
Everybody has a different life path. It's probably better to only speak for oneself. This is a time for spiritual awakening, but most people didn't wake up so more things will happen to enslave us xx
Not good morning
This is extremely annoying, I had classes and from my home i must take train but due to this strike i couldn’t go to my classes. It should not be like that atleast in Uk!!
Welcome. I'm glad I don't live there.
London isn't such a good place to live in. It's overcrowded and people are quite empathetic and rude. Also, we're human beings under a great psychological operation. People in the UK should have fought for their human rights over the last two years and DIDN'T. So a tube strike is minor compared to the social credit system and digital currency that can be stopped at any time. Xx
The same freedom you have as an international student is the same freedom that a worker in the uk has ( or should have ) to withdraw his or her labour. If you don't like that then you could always choose to study elsewhere....
@@skyejacques best to live outside the UK and observe
I can well understand why they are on strike. 👍
Selfish selfish selfish they've had it to easy for to long, while the rest for us, ie real worker have to work for evey penny we get .... its a very old school mindset this , spiting out there dummies when they dont get what they what .. come on who cant drive a tube , stand by a barrier looking at they phone all day ... 30 - 70 grand a year it a p ...... take . Come on poeple ......
Honestly, it's better to sack all of them. We can hire oversea train and tube drivers to retrain every one. Change the laws on strike and unions. Have every one sign a document to never be part of a union or go to strike, ever again. Have a system or courses to allow people to learn how to be a train driver. Half a year or year of disruption is better than being held hostage all the time.
You can't hire oversea drivers no more - something to do with the removal of freedom of movement a few years ago. ( name escapes me )
Don't worry the laws are being changed thanks to Patel and the empathy party.
Soon they will be able to revoke YOUR citizenship if they so desire.
Be careful what you wish for...
And as you've sacked all the instructors in your master plan of Reesmoggness - who do you plan to get to train the new furingers?
@@stephenjon3502 Half a year or a year of disruption, is better than be held hostage. If there is a will, there is a way. Pay overseas train and tube drivers, if they have to and give them a visa. If you want to come to Uk, then you will need to beable to drive a train.
@@fearless6947 OK. So we just keep making the rules up to suit then. Amazing myopic thinking there. I thought the will of the people had spoken when it came to immigrants coming here and working?
Do you really think that the government would close the complete underground system for 6 months?
Everyone should have a right to protect their conditions. Sounds like bojo has really got into your head fella.
@@stephenjon3502 they shouldn't have right's when it comes to the underground or train stations. It doesn't happen in any country in the world. I said immigrants who can drive a train and NO ONE WILL be upset, apart from you and staff that work in the underground and trains. I'm not talking about immigrants that do other job roles. A lot of people will be HAPPY if there is no strike, ever again. I'm not saying the goverment will close for 6 months but they should. We should put it in a vote and let the people decide.
London is going down
Wow.
certain jobs shouldn't be allowed to strike.
Certain people shouldn't be allowed to vote. One reason the UK is in such a state.
News report just in, tube driver falls asleep and over shoots platform hahaha talk about a professional that should be given a pay rise huh 🤣
Atleast pension should be given to them.. It a basic thing
50 K a year sounds like good money if you live in outside London where average house prices are 274,000 pounds,(as google says), but in London the average house price is 680,000. And the platform staff and cleaners don't earn that , if you take the time to talk to them you're find a lot of them are working 72 or 84 hours a week just to keep the mortgage paid.
How strange because right across the country in the west the bus drivers are also striking! Coincidence or a planned takedown of the infrastructure? First the doctors close doors, nhs is over run with vaxx damage, the holiday and travel industry all but ruined now the transport is closing down with co ordinated strikes? Anyone not getting bins emptied too? Ours is being left on the side of the road whilst the council try n find another contractor to do it so obviously, the council do nothing but find contractors to provide services and collect revenue to pay for it! Is this what they’re doing taking it all apart to Build Back Better?

Enough is enough, I can't wait for driverless trains, you think in Tokyo they put up with this crap, if the driver there is 10 seconds late he apologises to the whole station!
