1) Do you really think the RMT thought, "Lets disrupt a third rate music festival in a little unheard of town in West Yorkshire by calling a strike on the 1st of September"
No but I do think they thought of the Blackpool Illuminations switch on and by fortunate coincidence there was a music event in West Yorkshire on the same day. RMT rep John Tilley has said on past strike days the RMT specifically chose a date when there was a big event on. We now get the impression he was telling the truth but the RMT didn't want him to say that as they've lost public support as a result of him admitting that.
A question to Northernrail strikers. "If you are on strike to hurt the company, why are you wanting to help them out by covering uncovered shifts days later" Surly not covering shifts by working overtime would further your cause. Look up the word "Hypocrisy"
Just a thought - maybe they need to work the overtime to make up for the lack of earnings on strike days?
Has the RMT asked it's members how frequently they wish to strike?
