I’ve said rather a lot on this thread, so I’m going to just say one final thing.
This topic has been exceptionally dividing, and several posts have caused issue with other members, including my own. This is a controversial topic, and while I stand by my anti-strike stance, I recognise the extremely complex nature of railway jobs and the hard, hard work put into them by staff everyday, and have so much respect for them despite not being a supporter of strikes.
Therefore, if any of my posts have upset anyone due to me being against strike action, then I just want to apologise for that. I do have a anti-strike stance and I won’t be changing that despite some of you challenging it, but first and foremost we are all humans with individual opinions and I do not wish for anyone to be upset by my posts. For me, respect for others comes before getting my point across and that is why I just wish to add that I may not approve of strike action but I accept the right for workers to strike and the hard work of those choosing to.
And even though I loathe strikes with all my heart, if the railway industry do come out of it with a rise, I will be raising a glass with you. I cannot deny one is well deserved.
