WTF "I'm going on strike because my work iPad is too small for Netflix"
Work iPads being given to Tube drivers are 'too small to watch Netflix on', union rep moans as strike hits Underground again
A rail union representative allegedly told bosses in a meeting that work iPads being supplied to London Underground drivers were 'too small to watch Netflix' on.
The claim was made by a former conductor now in middle management as Tube drivers staged their second strike of the week today, causing fresh travel chaos.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) also walked out on Tuesday after last-ditch talks failed to resolve a dispute over a four-day week.
Several rail forums have hosted discussions on the reforms, with one post saying: '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.'
It is unclear which union the representative was from and whether the comment in the post, first reported by The Standard last night, was meant seriously or jokingly.
The RMT declined to comment when approached by the Daily Mail about the claims today, while Transport for London (TfL) has been contacted for comment.
It comes as RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey was spotted at a barbecue as he met union members at the Arnos Grove picket line in North London this morning.
The RMT raised fears in February over TfL using the iPads to 'enable and maintain direct contact with us and to monitor and evidence more closely what we are doing'.
