CITY VIEWS: ARE LONDON UNDERGROUND STAFF WRONG TO STAGE A STRIKE?
CHRISTIAN DAVIS BP
“It’s a complete joke. I’ve had to swallow a pay cut, take it or leave it. They’re just throwing their weight around because they can shut down London.”
PAUL MARTIN LONDON METAL EXCHANGE
“They are holding London to ransom, when there’s a big football match at Wembley tomorrow evening. It’s bully-boy tactics by the union.”
JENNIFER REX ROYAL SUN ALLIANCE
“The economy can’t handle pay increases. Tube staff have the benefit of being able to make a significant impact by striking but it doesn’t mean they deserve a rise.”
HON CHAN SWISS RE
“It is ridiculous. If you requested a rise in another industry you know what would happen. The worst effect will be on people going to the England match.”
