07:29 , Tom Place
A union representative allegedly complained that work iPads being supplied to Tube drivers were “too small to watch Netflix” on.
Reforms to bring in a four-day week for Underground drivers, who earn around £74,000 a year, have been discussed on rail forums.
On one of them, an ex-conductor who is now in middle management, posted: “Honestly, as much as I’m for unions, sometimes the reps just don’t help themselves.
“Rep at a recent meeting to give drivers tablets complained that the screen was too small to watch Netflix on, so they should be given bigger ones. Unreal stuff.”

60% of Tube drivers worked on Tuesday

Six out of ten Tube drivers went to work on Tuesday, despite the industrial action by the RMT union.
The 60% figure was slightly up on the April walkouts when it was 57%.
More than half of Tube drivers are members of the Aslef train drivers’ union which is not striking and has firmly backed a proposed four-day week.
However, it is understood that more RMT drivers turned up to work on Tuesday than in the April walkouts in a dispute over the new four-day week for drivers who earn around £74,000-a-year.
