Personally I'd just give them a pay cut. We've been too soft for too long.

[ynnafymmi]

Is this a nationalised rail company that they work for?If it isnt,*** all to do with the government.

[naomi24]

It never has been about money. It’s always been political.

[Bobbisox1]

Tbh, I’m not sure which is private and which is back in government control ,

[Bobbisox1]

Every now and then someone like Mick Lynch who’s on £80,000 a year comes a long , a bit like Arthur Scargill, their aim isn’t money ,it’s to bring down the government they hate

[ynnafymmi]

Trying to bring the government down by going on strike?Arthur Scargill had a lot of success there,didnt he?

[ToraToraTora]

Just tell them accept what has been offered within 24 hours or we'll impose a 20% pay cut and they can strike as much as they want. Then stand well back and watch them cave.

id have all the left wing unions investigated, payola and intimidation.

[ynnafymmi]

@16.04.I thought most unions were of a left-wing nature,fender.Wasnt there a Tory run trade union calling itself the Campaign for the Rights Of Trade Union Members?They tried to set up a Scottish version,but it was a lot of b*lls.

No matter how the spin is spun by Comrade Lynch, 5% backdated to Jan 2022 plus a 4% rise now is bloody good.

The vast majority of people in the private sector could only wish for a rise like this (I know the rail companies are quasi-private before the pedants jump aboard).

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve nothing against unions per se as long as they’re moderates but I remember clearly the ones such as the Print Union , the Miners , had so much clout back then that no right minded person would like to return to those days

// Trying To Bring The Government Down //

Don’t be silly.

[sandyRoe]

Could the union leaderß be in the pay of those Reds in Moscow?
No, wait...

[Gromit]

A 4% rise when inflation is 10% is not a good offer.
Energy prices doubling, the published inflation rate is a joke.

[gulliver1]

Meanwhile The MPs are in line for a £2.400 pay rise in april.

[naomi24]

Gulliver, you haven’t done your sums.

[bobbinwales]

Labour, SNP, Libs are refusing there rises tho gulliver are they?? The MPS do allright but £2400 is alot less than inflation

[fender62]
