The Anonymous Widower

A Pointless Strike

The London Underground strike is totally pointless as it is trying to protect booking office staff, who because of the new ticketing systems, have little to do anyway.

Boris hohnson said this.

We need to take account of the fact that some ticket offices are now selling fewer than 10 tickets an hour. We need to liberate staff to get out on to the platforms and concourses where they can be of most use to the travelling public.

I’m afraid that this won’t be the last strike, where new technology is threatening to get rid of jobs or redeploy people.
