Tube Drivers Offered Four-Day Week by Sadiq Khan’s TfL to Call Off Strikes

by Will Jones
9 November 2024 3:00 PM

Tube drivers have been offered a four-day week by Sadiq Khan’s Transport for London in return for calling off strikes. The Telegraph has the story.

A letter from Nick Dent, the TfL Director, to the Aslef trade union on Tuesday pledged to “set out a proposal for delivering an average four-day working week”.

The condition for opening discussions on a four-day working week was accepting a 3.8% pay rise and calling off “all pending industrial action”. Aslef’s strikes, which had been planned for November 7th and November 12th, were suspended that day.

In January, Tube workers were given a 5% pay rise by Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, that cost the taxpayer £30 million, prompting accusations that he had found a “magic money tree”.

The Conservatives called the deal a “total capitulation” to the unions, and questioned how much the plans would cost London taxpayers.

Tube drivers agreed to accept a pay rise that will take their salaries to just shy of £70,000 per year, and after the new Labour Government offered public sector workers pay deals worth about £10 billion.

Tube drivers currently work a five-day, 35-hour week. The four-day week plan would see no overall change in working hours, but sources said that in practice it would mean longer working days.

Underground drivers also enjoy 43 days holiday a year, thanks to a previous deal that saw time spent on shift but not working rolled up into extra holidays.

Walkouts by the RMT, the other Tube drivers’ union, were suspended last week after shop stewards said they had secured a “significantly improved offer” on pay and working conditions. No details of that offer have yet emerged into the public domain.

Worth reading in full.

For whatever reason, I couldn’t find my comment in the original Telegraph article, so I thought I better post it here.

“The question, then, is how governments came to adopt highly restrictive policies in the first place.”

Anne Elisabeth-Moutet answered this question in her latest Off Script interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQzYp_Ez2Yw&list=PLJnf_DDTfIVBbOIrHRuz70AnbLV2US-FX&index=32): McKinsey

“Why was the experience of emergency planners, and two decades of pandemic preparation, abandoned everywhere except Sweden?”

Well presumably because Tegnell was making recommendations based on the actual virus.

That’s certainly not what Midazolam Matt and Fat War Criminal were doing.

The mainstream media are constantly sniffing out the news that support their world view and the interests of their masters and only report that.

So they did report on Sweden briefly when they had an uptick in hospital admissions towards the end of 2020 and the king was recruited to criticise Tegnell’s approach. That was widely reported. The rest, not a peep.

The MSM also pretends that what Sweden did was somehow a ‘gamble’ and completely contrary to accepted pandemic practice – when in fact it was the normal and recommended way to respond, as set out in most countries’ pandemic strategies.

It was the Covidian rituals which were a ‘gamble’, which failed on its own terms (it didn’t cause any reduction in infections or deaths) and caused all the damage which many predicted – and we haven’t even seen the worst of the economic impact yet.

How many of those who cheered on the piss-money-up-the-wall schemes like ‘Eat out to help out’, ‘Nightingale hospitals’ which received little or no use, and all the rest of it, are now outraged by inflation, rises in national insurance, cuts to rail servces, etc, etc? Some of us tried to warn then what would happen but they didn’t want to know as they were too busy banging pans for the NHS.

They knew masks, lockdowns and social distancing did nothing. But they passed laws to make us do them.

They knew the injections didn’t work and carry risks yet still encourage parents to inject children as young as five. They want a fourth booster too.

For all of the above they used an array of psychological manipulation techniques to overcome people’s natural resistance, much of which exploited their decency as well as inducing fear.

All of the above is known and easy to find information on with only a little searching. Much of it has been published here on DS.

Why would anyone think any of this is about health or the government trying to help people? Does anyone still think that? Does anyone believe those same people will care about public enquiries?

I had a discussion with a colleague earlier in the week – intelligent, articulate bloke, but a full-on Covidian and believes everything the MSM and government says on it. He still thinks that wearing face nappies is a good idea and trotted out all the usual about they must at least reduce the viral load and thereby save people from a worse infection (“if it saved a few lives it was worth doing”), and the government must have had a good reason for mandating them. He clearly didn’t believe it when I told him that the stats across the world show no impact on infections or deaths caused by nappy mandates. Same unquestioning support of all the rest of the Covid theatre.

Got onto Ukraine later – I’m sure you can predict his MSM-fed viewpoint on that subject…

It is rather interesting that a country like Sweden that is quite plugged in to the western global order managed to chart a more or less sensible course, at least initially, before huge international pressure was brought to bear on them.

I suppose it may have something to do with the fact that Sweden is a real technocracy supported by a population that trusts its technocrats. That trust presumably is based on the perception by the population that their technocracy has not been hijacked by narrow interests and functions in the best interests of the population.

I agree with what you say about Sweden and technocracy.

Sweden is different in a few ways:

  • joined the EU late
  • Not a member of the Eurozone – referendum voted against.
  • Not a member of NATO yet ( was a haven for American draft-refusers in the Vietnam era and thought about making its own nuclear weapons)
  • A bit of a bastion of old-fashioned social democracy.
  • It never fell for the nonsense about leaving manufacturing behind and swapping them for a future in services.
  • a culture of technical and engineering excellence
  • the typical Scandinavian egalitarianism

It also seems to have a responsive technocracy:

Interesting, although it seems that their definition of cash includes electronic cash, which isn’t really cash.

The problem I find with Swedes is that they seem to have an astonishing strong belief in the good intentions of their bureaucracy and extreme skepticism that it can be hijacked for nefarious purposes and used against them.

Just like NL. NL’s initial approach was a ‘lockdown light’, with no home incarceration at all, no shops or offices closed, no masks, the head of the Outbreak Management Team was quite adamant about that and reiterated the point over several months. Indeed, it was not the intention for schools to shut, PM Rutte was quite categorical about that when the measures were announced on a Thursday afternoon. Come the Sunday evening, he announced the schools would close, as parents had made it clear they would not send their children to school and teachers made it clear they would not come in.

Things changed the following winter, due imo to pressure from Berlin/Brussels. This past winter saw another strict lockdown, for absolutely no reason – other than to introduce 2G on the apartheid app, i.e. only vaxxed/recovered – and we know that they’ve time-limited the recovered option, so that after x number of months you would have to get vaxxed to keep the rights and freedoms guaranteed to you by the constitution and any number of human rights treaties.

Another thing that needs to be reviewed is just how much pharmaceutical companies (particularly Pfizer, whose Bourla seems to have fewer than 6 degrees of separation from EU chief von der Leyen) determined what measures needed to be taken as of the time the vaxx was introduced. Seeing as from then on all measures were predicated on people getting an unproven vax – follow the money.

But the Dutch, like the Swedes, trust their government, trust their bureaucrats, and can’t believe they would be incompetent, disingenuous or corrupt. Funny, as they have no problem believing that about any random politician from a Medeterranean country.

Isn’t the biggest fact that the appropriate people in the medical establishment (in this case Tegnell) have the power to make these decisions, rather than weak politicians who will follow the herd as in most other countries?

Of course many in the medical establishment would also have followed the herd once the pressure was applied – Sweden was lucky in having a sensible person in post who was strong enough to stand his ground.

Swedes were not allowed out of Sweden for some time in 2020, so they were locked up in their own country.
I don’t think anyone will ever get to the bottom of ‘Covid’ – the real facts have millions of people covering them up, and ‘anti-vaxxers’ have jumped on the bandwagon. My basic outlook is that there was no pandemic, it’s all been a massive fraud for control of people and for making profits out of it.
But perhaps there was ‘a virus’… plenty of people keep saying they ‘had Covid’ and lost their sense of smell and taste for a while.

If anything, it’s probably ‘flu re-branded. No dead bodies littering the streets during this ‘pandemic’, no wheezing and gasping their last breath folk in Tesco’s…. but the same with the ‘Killer Vaccines’ – no people dropping dead on the streets, no people slumped over the radishes in the shops with heart attacks, no commercial jet planes crashing.

It’s all been a bit of a mystery, yet a very unfunny state of affairs with people having been denied seeing their relatives in care homes, the elderly forced to die alone in ‘isolation’, the deliberately induced fear by behavioural psychologists working for The State, the coercion to take experimental so-called ‘vaccines’, and the taking the piss out of whole nations getting the citizens to wear face masks for 2 years whilst those doing the ordering and getting the Police to dish out fines weren’t wearing face masks themselves, nor doing any ‘social distancing’.
Unfortunately the ‘Covid scam’ continues to this day. Those responsible for it, and those who have profited from it, are unlikely to be brought to any kind of justice.
It’s all been very sordid, and quite scary when we’ve been shown just how thick and obedient the people around us are.

Congratulations, I was hoping someone would point that out, the old argument of “Sweden had the most deaths out of all the Scandinavian countries”

Population by nation (2020)-

Finland 5.131 million
Norway 5.379 million
Denmark 5.831 million
Sweden 10.35 million

So why do you think they had more deaths?

The “multi culturalism” was foisted on them, the same as all the other European countries.

You should be careful EF, cherry-picking like that might lead some to regard you as a silly, negative troll.

Try including Germany, Poland or more importantly any of the Baltic states into the analysis – all in close proximity to Sweden – and you’ll see a different picture.

And just to pre-empt a typical troll counter of “yes but Finland has a land border with Sweden, those countries don’t” – there’s only about eight people who live on Sweden’s land border with Finland.

I bet there is no-one at all who lives on that border – it consists of two rivers, and I can’t see anyone living in the middle of a river or in the middle of a bridge. There are many small towns and villages beside that border, though – much more than 8 people.

And while they are reviewing Sweden’s lower than average excess deaths, they must also carry out a genuine review of the excess deaths that have been occurring since January 2021, particularly in months when there was a low prevalence of coronavirus – but a high prevalence of covid vaxx shots.

I think it would be a lot harder to impose strict lockdowns again. I’m not so sure it will be that difficult to get people to roll up the sleeve and take a 1x (2 tops – until it becomes 3, of course) year jab, particularly if this once-a-year (or twice-a-year, or thrice-a-year) shot will be required to activate your apartheid app.

I’d like to share your optimism regarding that assertion Jane, but for the bulk of the people I know, the call to be jabbed has created, if you like, a sense of ‘habit’, you get your “call”, you don’t do your own thinking or research, and you just go to jabbing centre and roll up sleeve, especially if it is to mean that your smart phone won’t work like the “entry device” they are trying to turn it into. I’m seeing so much dumbing down, go with the flow, just do it mentality around me, and such an absence of hard logic or even just thinking so I’m not hopeful.

We’re in agreement, I wasn’t being optimistic. I may have worded that sentence a little clumsily.

I do not think they can impose another strict lockdown easily. I do fear that it will be reasonably easy to get too many people willing to get what will initially be called a one-off shot at the beginning of flu season, which may be topped up around Christmas. Particularly if the apartheid app is made dependent on it. Some people may be okay with a 1x a year and happy to get their green check. If they are at risk of having the green check switched off, they will probably trot along and get their 2nd jab.

Let us hope there are enough judges who do not care to become pin cushions just to make pharma shareholders richer. About time they remembered why the trias politica exists and what their role in it is.

This was not, is not and never will be, about a Virus.
It is only about TRPTB taking advantage of/creating a climate of fear in order to achieve their wet dream of absolute control and power.

May they and their ilk rot in Hell, forever. (And, especially Blair.)

Their “vaccine” house of cards is collapsing, so they need diversions.

At the start of the claimed pandemic it looked like the Tory goverment were going to act sanely and implement the accepted pandemic protocols which basically meant advising people to wash their hands a bit more.
Then all of a sudden fatty Johnson imposed the lockdown despite SAGE not supporting lockdown.
If ‘The Science’ (SAGE) were not initially pushing lockdown who convinced fatty to impose it?

All the idiot controllers like Johnson have changed their stupidity to what they call climate change and have found another way to rob the people and this time put that money into the so called green companies and their supporters. Its time to realise CO2 is not a pollutant but part of the basis for life on earth and we humans are just returning some of it that plants have removed from our atmosphere over millions of years while at the same time supporting better new plant growth. There are pollutants from ICE vehicles and fossil fuel generators and we should concentrate on reducing that, rather than worrying about recovering the balance of CO2 in our atmosphere to closer to what it was in very ancient history when animal life emerged.
