Oh it's the drivers?
Must be hard to have an average wage of £48,500. The paupers.
Sorry I don't have sympathy. Bringing the country to a halt when they have been offered a decent rise in the current climate when already on high salaries. Still at least if you ever have to suffer as a result of someone's strike you won't moan about it hey.Deary me, I'm alright Nick strikes again. You drive everywhere anyway.
No matter what salary you are on, if you do not receive a pay increase commensurate with inflation every year you are receiving a pay cut. It is simple as that and good luck to anybody in dispute with their employer about it.
What the self-employed you say? Well you should simply draft indexation clauses into the agreements you have with your clients if you're in long term contracts.
99% don’t receive a increase because of inflation, if that was the case we wouldn’t be making £20k a year as a adult expected to buy a house pay mortgage drive a car pay bills ect, there are a lot more people who should be protesting.Deary me, I'm alright Nick strikes again.

"EVERYBODY SHOULD GET A PAY RISE WITH INFLATION OR GO ON STRIKE"
"WHY HAVE FOOTBALL TICKETS AND PINTS GONE UP IN PRICE?????? COST OF LIVING ETC"
Fly?
Prices have gone up anyway
Well if everybody got their pay rises, they'd pay more income tax and national insurance, so government could then reduce VAT etc to keep prices stable, of course."EVERYBODY SHOULD GET A PAY RISE WITH INFLATION OR GO ON STRIKE"

Look how that went down when 8 games a year are £3 more expensive.
Think some need to step out of the public sector and look at SMB / Self Employed / Zero Hours etc. It's a completely different world.

They could also bring train companies back into public ownership so profits went into the public purse rather than shareholders, which could also see less pressure on tickets to pay said shareholders rather than the drivers...
What's that fit to do with anything? You complain about people wanting more money, but choose not to complain about that.When was the last time VAT was reduced across the board?

I work in the private sector, as do all rail workers.
I think it's you that needs to understand why all those things happen. It's because people sit around swallowing rubbish about wage / price spirals.
Rail fares increase every year linked to the rate of inflation of the previous July. If RPI inflation is on or around 12% in May so is likely to be higher by July. So the fares are going up anyway yet the pay for drivers and staff goes up at a much lower rate. Where does the rest go?

Because NW said VAT could be lowered if everybody was earning more, I just asked when it last happened.
It's all well and good saying power to the people, give everybody a pay rise but what happens then?
I told you what happens, you choose to decide shareholder dividends come ahead of workers salaries.Because NW said VAT could be lowered if everybody was earning more, I just asked when it last happened.

Nope, hence the fact government can cut VAT if it chooses. A genuine Brexit bonusThat's assuming every business has massive shareholder dividend.
To be fair , prices had already gone up over 2000 a year for most families before the majority started striking .. inflation wasn't because of pay rises as 99% of people havent had 1"EVERYBODY SHOULD GET A PAY RISE WITH INFLATION OR GO ON STRIKE"

If you can’t make your business work while paying a living wage you don’t have a viable business. What other supplier can you refuse to pay above production costs for?
I could run a successful business if I was allowed to pay £0/hr, this is just an extension of that.
Not necessarilyYes and to give somebody 10% payrises a year the business has to increase it's prices.

Pretty sure train drivers in this example are on a fair bit more than the living wage?
Does that mean if people can't afford to live on the cost of living wage then they don't have a viable lifestyle?
