My post today is not about my running or how I am progressing
towards the London Marathon 2018. It is a defence of the marathon
distance against an article by Adharanand Finn about how running 26.2 miles just isn't enough and my view on the upcoming strike that will more than likely disrupt the London Marathon 2018.
My
view about RMT's strike relating to the pay and conditions provided by
KeolisAmey is that employees should have rights to reasonable redress
when their employer treats them unfairly, and in extreme cases protest
against this matter if necessary. However in the case of the London
Marathon 2018 I think it is hijacking a high profile event to show that
they are being treated badly, which I find ironic; i.e. we are being
treated unfairly, therefore we are going to make life incredibly
difficult for people who are trying to raise millions of pounds for
charity.
