Do you support ASLEF (train drivers union) strikes?

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



That or join a union.

Well then stop complaining that you haven't had a pay rise in 3 years?

It's a fact that public sector pay has gone up less than private sector in recent times so your argument doesn't hold any weight. You know that pretty much no one agrees with you in this thread and you just come back every so often with the same arguments so I assume you do it for attention and to wind people up?

Na life isn't all about money..

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.

I haven't had a pay rise in 3 years, I go on strike I lose my job

Are you in a union?

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 have fallen hook line and sinker for the classic right wing action of divide and rule.

It is only by pitting working man against working man can the capitalist class get away with exploiting all the working men.

Private sector v Public sector is a typical right wing divide issue, normally followed by gold plated pensions and other idiotic guff. Whilst the two different sectors are at loggerheads those with capital can feel safe in the knowledge they have control. If the Public sector and Private sector worked together to raise wages, terms and conditions for all working people that would terrify the capitalist class as that would mean less for the 0.1%

No, let’s have a race to the bottom.
