Tube fat cats

Bosses on the Warpath

In the last weeks, BoJo has announced:

  • a £5 billion cuts package on TfL
  • cuts to outer-London off-peak Tube services
  • delays to all ex-Metronet station upgrades including Victoria
  • a 3.9% increase in fares!

The contempt in which this man holds passengers, staff and the whole concept of public...

The Fat Cat Bosses

Now all the fat cat bosses
Who think they are so wise
Say we are in a recession
The workers won't arise

These workers tell us what they want
But we know what they need
We won't allow some union
Make us curb our greed
And we'll say what is chickenfeed
And we'll say what's enough
So raise your...

Cluck Cluck Cluck

So Boris Johnson thinks that a quarter-of-a-million income is 'chicken feed' - so long as it is his second income not our pay claim!

It takes a particular type of arrogant, self-opinionated egomaniac to believe that his writing hobby is worth more than ten times the daily slog of a CSA.

With this...

Back Slapping

As TfL/LUL management tell us that we have to lose jobs and tighten our belts because of the recession, you might wonder whether this is the right time for them to be living it up at a slap-up, back-slapping awards ceremony. But yes, they hot-footed it down to the Novotel Hotel in Hammersmith for a...

Scrooge!

LUL has not made any money available for staff Christmas parties for two years. And to prove that this is the season for giving, Tim O Toole has put out a memo saying that there will be no more ‘thanks to you’ awards, as the company is in debt needs to save every penny. Brilliant! The millions...

Valuing time? Wasting money

LUL is inviting (more accurately, summoning!) all staff to its Valuing Time event, to explain ‘the challenges we face in delivering a world class tube for a world class city’ – as if we don’t get enough challenges every day! And as for valuing time, maybe they should try valuing the frontline staff...

Meet The New Boss

Boris Johnson has appointed a new henchman. His new 'deputy mayor' (funny, we thought such a post would have to be, erm, elected) goes by the name of Tim Parker.

Mr Parker's fans, apparently, call him a 'cost-cutter' as though that’s a compliment. His enemies, on the other hand, call him the Prince...

Royal Visit

You know when a member of the Royal Family opens a hospital or whatever (no such ceremony when one is closed, of course)? In preparation for the ribbon-cutting and baby-kissing, the management order the building to be cleaned more thoroughly than it has ever been cleaned before.

Perhaps Tim O...
