Tube workers to strike over sacking of driver who failed two alcohol breath tests
Members of RMT union to walk out from 9.30pm on March 7 until 3.59am on Sunday following vote for industrial action over dismissal of London Underground driver


By Agency8:42AM GMT 02 Mar 2015
London Underground workers are to stage a short strike from Saturday evening in a row over the sacking of a colleague.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union will walk out from 9.30pm on March 7 until 3.59am on Sunday.
The move follows a vote for industrial action over the dismissal of a driver for failing two breath alcohol tests.
London Underground said it had zero tolerance towards drugs and alcohol, but the union has described its policy as "outdated and flawed".
Nick Brown, chief operating officer of London Underground, said: "This indefensible strike is about one RMT member dismissed for failing two alcohol breath tests.


"We will not be swayed by it as we will never compromise on the safety of our customers and staff. You wouldn't let someone who had been drinking alcohol drive your family in a car, and we don't let people who have been drinking alcohol drive people's families in Tube trains.
"Less than a quarter of the RMT members eligible to vote for strike action did so. For the RMT leadership to announce a strike regardless shows how completely out of touch they are, just as the timing demonstrates that they know they have very little support from their members on this issue.
"Should they go through with this action, it will achieve nothing and we'll work to ensure Londoners are kept informed and can still get around."


Mick Cash, general secretary of the RMT, said there had been a campaign of "misinformation and smears" against the union.
In a message to members, he said: "This action is the first stage as part of a rolling programme of industrial action and I urge all RMT London Underground train operators and instructor operators to stand firm together against this and any future injustices against RMT members."


The Conservatives have said that they will legislate to make it more difficult for unions to call strikes in key public services if they win the General Election in May.
Ballots for industrial action among transport, education, health and fire services would require the support of at least 40 per cent of all those entitled to take part – as well as a majority of those who actually turn out to vote. The TUC has condemned the move as a “democratic outrage.”

AUSTRIA: DISASTER IN THE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE AS HYPO BAD BANK HETA COLLAPSES


When a company trading in asset resolutions resolves not to be insolvent, it’s a bailin. Why Mario Draghi and German banks are really to blame. How the Austrian Government lied about the real situation.




Once upon a time there was a AAA, badly-run Austrian bank – a whopper – called Hypo. But then a German shareholder Bayerische Landsbank gave out some idiot loans in the Balkan States, and the Bavarian subsidiary stepped neatly out of the way just before the solids hit in 2009. So Hypo became a broke bank thanks to a naughty German bank, and the Austrian Government bailed it out.

As is the custom in these circumstances, a ‘bad bank’ was created. A naughty bank is different to a bad bank, in that the NB sprays merde everywhere, and it’s all tucked away into the BB.

The clue’s in the name when it comes to bad banks, but until quite recently this one – Heta – was rated AAA Aaa by some ratings agency somewhere of dubious ownership. So not surprisingly, lots of money piled into Heta.

Of course, some small change to the tune of 5.5bn euros had been needed to set up Heta and write off the ordures. But everyone seemed to be quite happy with the way things were going. Until yesterday.

Because yesterday, “the first results of an asset review suggested a dramatic change in the asset evaluation”. Don’t you just love financespeak? They ‘reviewed’ the assets, and lo, there had been a change, and so the managers were sore afraid. The ‘evaluation’ of the assets showed a great big hole to the tune of 7.6bn euros.
