    ASLEF strikes W/c 6th May

    Well fair play for being honest. But- Do you think your experience should be normally accepted by everyone ? Have/had you any trade union involved in your current or redundant roles ? Would you hand back a pay rise if you were offered one now.......? 1713852629 @Bantamzen - but those...
