Rail strike called

Anyone working in the rail industry is already well paid and well rewarded. Unions want to take us back to the dark ages. It’s all part of their yobbish nature to hold the country to ransom. They enjoy it.

You are just jealous. Funny how many posts there are enquiring about how to get a job driving trains because it is well paid and the terms and conditions are good. There IS a reason for that … and guess what that is? Yes you’ve got it, strong Union membership.

Membership is worth nothing without militancy to go with it.
Strange how unions reacting to weaponised price led inflation, historically used by the employer classes to reduce incomes and living standards, is regarded as holding the country to ransom.
Employed workers have just as much right to maintain their incomes in real terms as self employed and shop owners and businesses.
Bearing in mind that 10% on just the wage cost component doesn’t/shouldn’t translate as 10% on overall retail prices.
