The Queen Starts An Inter Union Row

Her Majesty doesn’t often get involved in trade union disputes, but according to this report in the Standard, she’s very much involved in this one on the London Ungerground.

What puzzles me about this dispute is why we still have so many unions involved in the rail industry.

Over the many years, I’ve been watching industrial relations, it strikes me, that companies with a single union, seem to have better industrial relations, than those with more.

Upgrades Are Starting At West Hampstead Station

I found this article about the installation of lifts at West Hampstead station in the Ham and High. In addition they do say this about the station.

It will form part of a wider redevelopment of the entire station which starts next year.

But the bad news is that it won’t be finished until the end of 2019.
