Good. We need huge action and massive labour strikes to show this shitshow of a government that we’re not toys.
Rail bosses using the cliche “look how these selfish workers are disrupting everyone’s plans”
**Sacrifice your 6 figure bonuses if you’re that concerned**
Good for them. A below inflation pay adjustment is a pay cut.
At network rail we’ve received no improved offer with very little movement on the more daft shift they are wanting. Some of it is acceptable and by and large already happens.
Some of it is daft. I work with signals and shit but they are wanting me to go stick earth’s on the overheads if they are short staffed. The fuck do I know about sticking an earth on a 25kv line ? How am I supposed to know if something doesn’t look right or safe ?
They are looking at opening a redundancy scheme for folk who want to leave which a lot of the older guys will be jumping at if they get the chance. Again though it’s not as attractive as it could be nor is it guaranteed. If you have “skills required by the buisness” you can be refused and kept on despite wanting to leave.
All people starting after 2014 will be on significantly worse contracts with vastly reduced enhancements for unsociable hours and overtime. Also if you take a promotion you will also be on significantly worse terms and conditions.
Loads more industry specific shit that most here won’t understand as they aren’t in the industry. All this for 4% aye fling it right up your hoop.
Especially when the top brass have been handed 10s of thousands in payrises when you look at the take home after the tax cuts.
They want to make us poorer while they cream even more in. They need to realise without us there is no need for them yet if they fucked off nothing materially would change day to day.
Is there no news on a general strike? Also what does a general strike entail?
Good for them,I ssuport what they are donig and am hoping we’ll have a general strike across the country.It is one of the few things left to people to make themselves heard that will have a real effect on even the rich.
edit: a word
that will teach them to use disgruntled royal mail workers as train drivers
Solidarity brothers and sisters. Fight the power and fuck this negative wording of workers fighting for better pay and conditions.
Dam the 8th sucks for me, have to support them though, I wonder what they eventual pay outcome will be
heh, was wondering why I hadn’t received post and then remembered. No annoyance, good for them.
