"I thought Keir Starmer had got the nation moving again with the pay award he gave to his union buddies. " Your insidious use of "Union buddies" says everything I need to know about how you view the rights of workers. Maybe you should join a union to protect your rights instead of dribbling on about others protecting theirs. | |||

"They are Happy with the 75K a year salary but want a reduction in working hours to get it ! " That's not why they are striking at all. Do you have trouble reading? | |||

" Well said, these anti union people make me sick, they fully support the NFU and the farmers who pay below the minimum wage and want foreign labour recognised as a skill so they can pay even less | |||

"And why are they striking?. Because it's easy money off Starmer. No negotiations, pay what they ask for" Except of course there were negotiations which had been going on under the tories who got no where and ruined people's travel for a year. Labour put and end to all that bollox straight away by being sensible and standing up for workers. | |||

"And why are they striking?. Because it's easy money off Starmer. No negotiations, pay what they ask for" It's not Starmer's money and we are not ruled by a president. The democratically elected government decide to pay whoever they feel gets the results they want. The current government might feel that paying the going rate might work in getting the country moving or doctors making people well. The previous government felt that paying their mates vast sums for ineffective masks and gowns during a pandemic was a good idea. | |||

I wish! Great pay and a great union. But really shows the level you operate at when you think I must be a train driver if I'm defending their rights to strike. Quite infantile really. | |||

And now the public can't afford to use the trains. Great planning. You have to learn to be strong in government. Starmer is only strong against the vulnerable. Hence more train strikes that F.;"** worked didn't it. For 4 weeks | |||

Starmer is only strong against the vulnerable. Hence more train strikes that F.;"** worked didn't it. For 4 weeks" If British people, unlike most Europeans, can't afford to travel by train, then questions must be asked of the owners of these train companies. Like Chiltern Railways, London Overground, CrossCountry, owned by someone in tax-haven Cayman Islands. or South Western Railway owned by the government of Hong Kong. or Avanti West Coast partly owned by the Italian state. Great Northern, Southern/Thameslink owned by Kinetic Group, an Australian bus company. or West Midlands Trains owned partly by the East Japan Railway Company and by Mitsui & Co, another Japanese corporation. The list goes on...next you'll be telling me that the Royal Mail has been sold to a Czech millionnaire..haha | |||

For 4 weeks" I love how you anti worker types always concentrate on the highest earners in a workforce and completely forget everyone else on lower pay. If you train for a skilled job, you should be paid more. A driver is responsible for hundreds of passengers at a time. But let's not have a cap on bankers bonuses, that's ok. | |||

" Yeah, plenty seem keen on a race to the bottom. And talking about 60k as some life changing sum of money when it shouldn't be thought of as some obscene salary when those running the companies for the benefit of shareholders earn millions of not billions. The boot tasting fetish is strong with this lot of right wing scabs. | |||

Anti workers wtf is that. As for bankers, unfortunately they are private corp. Train drivers are paid very high salary for short hours. There mentioned because our joke of a government paid an extortionate increase to that already highly paid job. Knowingly as a thankyou to the unions | |||

"As far as I'm aware it was Train Managers(Guards,in old money) at Avanti West Coast who were proposing to go on strike. NOT drivers, however the situation has been resolved and the strike called off. Also, for your information, very few train drivers earn that sort of money, hyped figures produced by the mainstream media to get you worked up, and it would appear to have worked " . They actually do earn that sort of money. Very accurate if you include there bonuses etc. | |||
