The designers strike of 2009.
It was appaulling said one company executive, our brands were in aesthetic decline and our annual reports were lackluster and dry. We needed to see the end of this strike and quickly, fortunatly the end came as a young forward thinking executive by the name of "bing leboweitz" suggested that we set reasonable time scales and did some preparation work and made accurate timely decisions. The strike ended and we were able to resume our dark blues and mauves all over again.

"The army have been drafted in to work overnight preparing informative marketing items for visitors to London's top tourist attractions. Working mainly by hand and on re-commissioned John Bull printing sets, they have so far produced up to 15 fold out leaflets advertising Madame Tussauds, which will be passed out on the street to anyone wearing a rucksac and a NafNaf sweatshirt".

It's the law that supports group extortion called strike (err.. solidarity) the core of the problem.
In the old days, before going on strike you would consider your chances very carefully, knowing that the employer can fire all of you if you don't have a good negotiating position. A strike was the very last measure.
Now in Socialist Europe you can group-sabotage your employer as you please (or terrorize the whole city in this case), cause millions of losses and you cannot be fired because a strike is a fucking "human right". You even have to get paid for the time you're on strike. It is not even ridiculous, it's just wrong.
Srsly, go and tell Boris you sack him if he doesn't sack them.

In capitalist Europe people was forced to work 10 hours per day, without any days off, women were laid out as soon as they got pregnant and where, child labour where encouraged and under paid, and strikes where illegal. And the ones who just attempted to reunite themselves were sacked (in the best scenario), mugged or kiklled and often during on strikes workers where shoot by the police.
And this was not to so long ago.- < extremely poor grammar, I apologiseAutokern
- Nobody was forced to work. Just like you are not today. Start your own company, then dictate the rules.raf
- Yeah, nobody was forced to work, they could choose between working and starving. Nice choice.Autokern
- Why you don't start own company mate? To dump or to laze lake this fuc***s from tube. By the way in victorian times lunch was 4h mate and life look bit different from this socialist propaganda. Like says Napoleon "history is written by winners". The funny thing, london tube now is mutch more slow or 70 years ago. That is real socialistic progres.byname

This all reminds me of Richard Branson's response when Virgin staff were threatening to strike:
"For some of you, more pay than Virgin Atlantic can afford may be critical to your lifestyle and if that is the case you should consider working elsewhere."

OMFG - you can tell that QBN is full of Thatcher's children.
Striking is one of the only ways that ordinary workers can affect the decision making process of large corporations. Little people like us are royally screwed on a daily basis by people who have more money and more power than we do.
If a strike is brought in as a last resort every so often, then what's the big deal. The tube isn't the only way to travel around London.
And as for - "tube workers aren't worth the money"... what a fucking irony coming from people 'who make things look nice' for similar sums (or a lot more in some cases).

They use the same "last resort" about twice a year at review time lukus.
It's a nonsense. Thatcher would've had them back in their place quicker than a Japanese tube shover.
I mean what is it with people who work underground for a living? Why are they all so bald? First the miners, now this. Tossers.

Lukas you are mad? They don't doing this "things look nice" for free! And overloaded tube every time is not "nice". I'm not sardine in a can. Oyster cost me around £170 per month. You are kid?
Personally i don't like corporations and my choice was go to work for small and normal company. Every time is ONLY YOU choice. You shity job it's not my fault! Change job, so fuc***g basic. Wake up kid.
