RMT are going to stage another walk out over the sacking of
a tube driver who failed a breathalyzer.
RMT are adamant that the driver was not drunk, but had
failed the test because of his diabetes, which has been known to give a false
reading on breathalyzers.
Here’s my problem, if it was alcohol, why on earth are they
striking? Secondly, if it was his diabetes which was obviously causing some
problem to make someone think he’d had a drink, why are they striking?
Either way he was about to endanger the public.
The effect of diabetes can be to make you feel drunk, and
give a false reading on a breathalyzer. So why on earth was he thinking about
getting behind the controls of the train, and endangering the public knowing he
didn’t feel well?
Surely this man knew he wasn’t feeling well? Surely he knew
that he had a duty of care to the public, and should have told his manager that
he was feeling well, and said “I am not fit to drive the train today?”
Unless of course, he had had a drink, which also would
explain him failing two breathalyzer tests.
Whichever it was, he was in the wrong, and the RMT know they
are wrong to strike.
