Before folk start jumping on the fact that Mick gets just as much.
The RMT absolutely gets value for money from Mick, as demonstrated these past weeks.
I don’t live in London so I can’t say for sure but does anyone in London feel like TFL bosses earn/deserve £100k
It’s a bit hypocritical when some tube drivers (operators) also earn over £100k.
Maybe the whole organisation needs a top to bottom review of it’s pay structure, particularly when one considers a tube operator on 16 week’s training earns more than a headteacher
We will see very little of Big Mick because they all looked very dumb unless they give him overwhelming support he will be banished from the media.
This is miss from Lynch. 100k is not that much if you’re managing an organisation of 30k people, and this is the top 800 people in this organisation.
We shouldn’t be trying to drag other people’s earnings. TfL is generally a well run organisation, that pre-pandemic was close to being profitable, the people deserve their pay.
> Mr Lynch said: “The eye-watering sums TfL executives earn shows that it is snouts in the trough for bosses and poorer pensions and conditions for Tube staff.
That’s no more than a skilled software engineer -with no management responsibilities- would demand in London.
£100k salary for the top couple percentage of people in a company of 30,000 staff in the most expensive area of the country isn’t that extreme. I feel like compared to other similar sized companies the pay of upper TFL management is probably quite a bit lower so that alone makes it seem like they’re not overpaying management.
In the article
>“Since 2016, the number of people on a [basic] salary of more than £100k has dropped by nearly 20 per cent.
They’ve headed massively in the direction he seems to be calling for but he’s still hating on them as if no change has been made.
Also why just target TFL bosses? I know some TFL staff who aren’t in a management related roll at all(zero staff under them) and yet they hit over £100k/year too, and they’re still RMT members and strike. I can’t see why complain about one but not the other.
Targetting “TFL Boses” is just easy. Would be interesting to hear what he thinks they should be paid instead because there’s a few non management roles that are not that much under £100k/year and he’d be saying the management roles should be paid the same.
He says a bunch of good stuff but this isn’t one of them.
The article doesn’t mention the figures include all the salaries for the people working on Crossrail, despite it being one of Europe’s largest construction projects.
We won’t be seeing Mick Lynch much more.
He’s really exposed the mockery that is the UK media and made a bunch of overpaid cretins look like the overpaid cretins they are to their viewership of underpaid cretins.
Hopefully independent media outlets continue to interview him.
There speaks the man who’s total salary package is well over 100k a year because his tax and pension are paid for him as part of his package
He earns just as much and sits around 95% of the year
