Wonder is his boss knew he was posting on here in work time.

Why would anyone lie about working for 10-11 hours a day for a pittance whilst criticising unions fighting for better pay and conditions for workers?
Sounds like a Monty Python Yorkshireman living in a box in’t middle o’t road.

Selfish twats.
People in the private sector are also suffering from the cost of living crisis and working without having pay rises for several years. They can't just down tools, they just get on with life.
The strikers seem to love the limelight and the misery they are causing. I have zero sympathy for them anymore.

You could always get a better paid job that works less hours if you think you aren’t being paid enough.

That's a bit too Tory a response to a Tory.

 

[Vic]

This is true. It’s also about the right work/life balance and conditions at work.

These too can be improved by joining a union.

The people who gave you the weekend.

Well, it’s his only real option if he doesn’t want to join a union or is happy with his current salary for ever more.

It’s all moot anyway. He won’t post on this thread for 6 weeks or so and then say the same thing and get the same responses.

I wonder if he sleeps.

Private sector yes but heavily subsidised not been on a train (apart from a miniature steam line) this century but have paid £000's towards it. If it was truly private sector the free market would have closed most of it by now.
