Our union laws are quite lenient compared to majority of other European countries that’s why they’re abused by idiots who think they deserve more, if you ask me a bus driver is more skilled than a train driver they press a button and if they go they sit there and incase of emergency
What about shareholders who take minor dividends in an SME to ensure the company and its employees survive. Did you have a 10% pay rise?
I refer the dishonourable gentleman to the answer I gave some hours ago.
This thread is about train drivers btw, not sure if you noticed.
if that company didnt offer that surely it should close down and give people who work there a chance of a much better life?
You always are alright though as unless you choose to leave your job you are in a protected employment bubble
Have you all solved the train strikes yet or should people start making alternative plans for getting to the game?
BSB believes that businesses should close if they can’t offer cost of living rises to their employees
Maybe those whinging about rail strikes should heed the advice of a like minded, union bashing former MP and get on their bikes?
Do you agree that foreign governments can take profits out of a national service ahead of British workers?
Well yes or companies like JLR Ford and Vauxhall would be closed forever frankly it’s childish and irrelevant - and oddly that’s a pro brexit argument right there isn’t it?
The reality is basically at a small company level of course people can have inflation pay rises but others would lose their jobs to pay those that stay. That’s what happened in tbe 70’s when the Callahan government failed in its pay constraint argument.
this is a juvenile argument
Since when are JLR Ford and Vauxhall a national service?
Since when is a small company a train network?
What's childish and irrelevant is trying to twist the thread away from its subject.
Their shareholders are predominantly made of overseas investors
I didn’t know this was an elitist celebration of train workers but a more general discussion on what’s fair. Why is it fair when workers can hold public to ransom get the big pay rise and those who don’t have an impact on the public don’t as no one gives a fuck. That’s not very fair is it?
It wasn't, it was an informational thread to assist football fans in their travel decisions.
Also surely if you support the European Union you accept EU movement of profits to the likes of Avanti — that’s what being in tbe eu is about isnt it? Odd thoughts here from the remain side - British jobs for British workers mentality to me
English for English you mean-after all nobody on the ‘leave side’ cares if the UK splits apart?
FWIW, many of the owners of the British Rail networks have lobbied against liberalisation of rail ownership laws in Europe, as they've seen what a disaster it's been for the UK...
Think the argument is better paid jobs for the average working man regardless of nationality.
And we're not in the EU anymore. Time for Brexit to start delivering some of the benefits it promised, of which one was higher wages.
out of everything you shared i dont see a "going to strike", you "oaf"
You said protesting

Are you saying that the party you continually vote for have created such poor economic conditions that you can’t put your prices up?

I have on average increased prices up by 15% which includes absorbing the annual pay rise of employees so the profit margin is reduced
This thread is a banger.
Park benches, offering to job swap, brexit.
It's only been going a matter of hours!

Good on anyone standing up for their working rights. Everyone should do the same where they can. People are being taken for fools in this country.

You can support that and public ownership of utilities and services. Rather than money being syphoned off to shareholders it’s reinvested for the benefit of us all.
