Best of luck to them.

Flight and train price increase incoming then.

Just as we were looking at a NYC and Vegas holiday for next year. Was cheapest by some distance with BA. Quick!

Train prices are linked to RPI so go up with inflation. Maybe workers wages should be as well.

The BA strike isn't about a rise, they had a ten percent wage cut during shut down which hasn't been reinstated.
The chairman of the group is getting a multi million pound pay rise though.

Barristers too. I almost spat my coffee out but then saw it’s the legal aid defence barristers. £20 an hour does look pretty poor versus what the private ones get.

Criminal barristers vote to strike over pay rates

The walkouts begin next Monday in an escalating dispute with the government over funding for trials.

You should read the secret barrister, its a real eye opener. I had no idea criminal barristers were paid so poorly.

I need to travel from Bristol to Weston-super-Shit on Saturday and the MRs has taken the car to Glastonbury.

Reduced train service is running but is it bad form to get the train? Like is it breaking a picket or something, I support the strikers so don't want to do the wrong thing but not used to all this shite.

No, because the service is being put on by non union staff rather than strike breakers

If you look at the time spent working outside of normal hours sometimes Junior Barristers earn less than minimum wage

Yeah, the Pickets aren't monsters they understand if people still need to attempt to travel

Indeed. Amazing how the prices charged by the company can match inflation so thier profit margin doesn't take a hit but workers pay can't be so they can afford rent, heating and food. It's so obvious for who's benefit this country is being run for.
