Bob Crow Quotations

The achievements of Labour in the years after the Second World War should never be underestimated, but they are now history.

Spit on your own and you can't do anything, but if you all spit together you can drown the bastards

If you fight you won't always win. But if you don't fight you will always lose

No doubt we will once more be accused of disruption but ... the blame once again lies squarely with management trying to impose rather than negotiate.

Given the urgency of the situation and the fact that it can take up to a month to ballot, we will not be sitting on our hands,

This wasn't a one-off. I don't think it was sabotage, I think the vibrations of the train allowed the nuts to come off the bolts.

I think it is scandalous what has been put around in the media this weekend about this being a one-off,

London Underground's point-blank refusal to accept our compromise offer means that strike action remains on for 24 hours over New Year's Eve and over Jan. 8-9.

We have been seeking talks with London Underground over the safety issues at the heart of the current dispute and we welcome the opportunity to meet the company at ACAS tomorrow.

Without these enforceable minimum standards, operators will be invited to cut corners and compromise fire safety.

The private sector is making millions each week out of its contracts on the Tube. Yet it is not only failing to deliver promised improvements but has also demonstrably failed to maintain a crucial safety system to acceptable standards.

A track inspector will have miles and miles of track to cover,

The travelling public wants to see more staff on stations, not fewer, and our members have the right to work in safety.

After months of trying to stop these attacks it has become clear that the only path left open to us is to ballot our entire tube membership for industrial action, and we have given London Underground notice to that effect.

There needs to be four times as many track inspectors.

The number of staff being displaced is many times the 200 we were told would be the case during negotiations.

Once again Tube management have jumped the gun and are trying to impose policies without agreement.

The company has confirmed that it will not impose a range of new procedures, and we have agreed a way forward to deal with the issues involved.
