Railway unions in Europe are carrying out a number of massive strikes they are demanding much higher wages...while the owners of these railways seem to want to layoff people working in ticket booths and others working on platforms (in the UK a recent uprising by train users has stopped them closing them all down)...there is a shortage of drivers...but driverless trains are already operating...and the signalmen will be next...this could be the railway union's last Hurrah....a real turning point in history....robots are always on time...cheaper and do not strike....the last person you will end up seeing when you catch a train will be the guy in the ticket office! |
