Do you support the RMT?

Same deal offered. Just the wording changed.

If it goes to referendum I will reject it.

5% to be made redundant unless I agree to be fucked out of any work life balance so a hedge fund masquerading as a public company can increase dividends is a huge FUCK OFF from me.
 
Great British railways bill has been "shelved" until this dispute is finished.

The document they want us to agree to is a bonfire of contractual and collective bargaining rights. It's written in such a way that "consultation" will last for 3 months and then imposed if there's no agreement.

The wording of it could argue that any future strikes called can be blocked in court because the union agreed to the document.

It's a big fuck off trap.

Great British Railways (only available in England) will be sold as "renationalised public railway" will be run by a hedge fund company on a "management contract"

The plan is few "multi skilled" staff on permanent contracts "At major stations", with lower rates of pay and fuck all work/life balance.

Peak travel; such as national sporting events/holiday resorts will be covered by 3 month contracts or agency staff on minimum wage.

The whole thing hasn't been thought through by any fucker who understands the railway industry. It's a political document intent on destroying union power.

Company emails are bombarding us falsely claiming it's a 13% pay for very little changes to contracts and demanding we tell our union we want a referendum to accept. Neglecting to mention that all contracts will change as per the terms in the document if agreed.

If head office agrees to this. It's not only the members that are fucked it's the union as well.
 
So, the RCN leaders supported the offer yet their people didn’t?

Probably said more about their leaders not really being in touch with what’s really going on in the nursing sector.

Funny how the government always wants union leaders to put their crappy offers to the members.

They’ll be looking at it from all sides and probably thinking they’re doing the best but I’d bet there’s an element of them siding up to the government.

Some union leaders have political ambitions.

One, who's crawling up the pole within the labour party is looking for a safe seat and not agitating as much as his members are demanding to support their sister union despite a huge strike mandate to do so.

Seen it a couple of times before and the reason why I stopped my membership.

It depends if it’s at the detriment of the members, especially when they continually side with the employer over the members.

But you don't consider it a taboo ambition then? Doesn't seem to bother Tory voters when their MP gets £80k plus expenses plus taking a £100k job on GeeBeeBees News ( the news station that isn't a news station ) and at the same time writes a weekly column for a Tory rag. I assume they are prepared to accept piss poor advocation in the House
