I don’t understand why they make 60k a year and that would have gone to 65k are they striking?
yeah but the dates are just a guide line,they’ll most likely be late
Well fuck me for trying to be somewhere that weekend I suppose.
With all this wfh stuff have train drivers ever been in a worse position?
“The trains are off!”
“Ah well guess I’m working in my kitchen today”
Remember, this dispute isn’t primarily about money. The Tory/Murdoch propaganda juggernaut will try and have you believe that but it’s simply not true.
The government want to carve up terms, conditions and working practises which WILL cause deaths. The RMT should not be vilified for fighting for people’s lives. The government wants to cut track maintenance budgets by 50% and want to do away with preventative maintenance, choosing to adopt a ‘fix on failure’ attitude, I.E only fix the track when it breaks. How safe does that sound? They also want to reduce minimum time between shifts to 9 hours from 12 hours, despite the fact that worker fatigue was found to be the cause of the Clapham rail disaster which claimed 35 lives. They also want to close all ticket offices all over the country, costing thousands and thousands of jobs. Those are the main points, there are dozens more minor points that this dispute involves before we even get to the issue of money.
OP doesn’t seem to understand the story, or the simplest of comments regarding it! Lol.
