Oh, absolutely. It’s going to be a glorious, train-less catastrophe for a few days. You’ll be stuck in a bus with forty other grumpy people, wondering why you didn’t work from home.
But here’s the thing: a strike is supposed to be annoying. That’s the whole point. It’s a temporary inconvenience for a permanent improvement. Like dental work, but louder and with more angry tweets.
London Underground drivers add to planned strike disruption in March
Remember the last Tube strike? Everyone complained. Then the drivers got a fairer deal. And guess what? You forgot about it the next week. Funny how that works.
Why should you care if you don’t even take the Tube?
Because London’s arteries are the tracks. When the drivers strike, the city’s heartbeat stutters. Deliveries slow. Shops lose customers. Your Uber surge pricing goes through the roof.
Plus, it’s about basic dignity. Imagine your boss telling you, “Hey, you’ll work 12-hour shifts now. Also, you get no rest between routes. Also, you’re responsible for everyone’s safety. Cool, right?”
Wouldn’t you walk out too? Exactly.
