✒Union leaders seem hardwired to avoid giving an inch. Bob Crow never ducked a fight in life, and this week he appeared to be wagging his finger at the bosses from beyond the grave. Monday’s Morning Star posted a story ridiculing the government’s decision to re-privatise the east coast mainline, in light of profits made by the nationalised entity. Indeed a scandal. “Rail union RMT general secretary Bob Crow said yesterday that Mr McLoughlin would ‘completely ignore’ the news at his peril,” it said. “These figures destroy from top to bottom this government’s case for handing the East Coast back to the rip-off merchants from the private sector,” was the characteristically robust quote from Crow. Was that through a medium, we asked the paper. Via tea leaves? No, came the reply. We’ve accidently re-posted a story first published last year. RMT most unhappy. Still, if the notion of Bob from the other side frightens the boss class, he won’t mind.
