Do you support the RMT?

The Govt has decimated the legal aid budget to the detriment of the public, the justice system and indeed, barristers.

Yet another example of extreme conservative ideology in action and causing harm.

Their donors can’t be taken to court by plebs if the peasants can’t afford to bring the case,

Have you ever given thought to the alternative way of securing better working conditions and pay.
For those who work in the private sector, the holding the gun against the bosses head to secure what is wanted. Is not an available option.
We have to look at ourselves, if we feel we are undervalued, we go out and test our feelings in the jobs market.
If it’s true, we take an alternative job that gives us what we deserve without causing disruption to those innocent customers that have nothing to do with the disputes but it’s having a major impact on their lives.
Don’t you think that is a much less selfish approach.

Meanwhile, back in the real world…

He said it was underfunded by both Political Parties when they were in power and seeing as he worked at the coal face I had no reason not to believe him.

Do you think that that hasn’t been happening?

They haven’t just woken up this morning and decided to strike, have they?

Of course you can find another job. Then you’re replaced be staff with zero experience and the customer suffers even more.

These staff become experienced and want more money for the services and experience they deliver. They’re denied, and they get other employment, leaving the railway system in a cyclical situation of having shit staff with shit morale.

Fucking hell.
You’re even copying Johnson’s stupid insults.
Tragic.

This could well be a WW burner account.

Has it fuck.

None of these workers are demanding to own these companies, they just want better working conditions and pay.

Fuck all to do with communism.

I certainly didn't write that any workers were demanding ownership of any company.
I was referring to the leaders on both sides. If you do not think that there are political motivations in both leaderships and they have become the major concerns then you are very welcome to that belief.

Exactly , that’s how the real world works .
For most, if you want to get on, it needs to done from within, rather than rely on others.

None of which are anything to do with communism.

Beneath the strikes is the harsh reality that a third fewer train journeys are being made, months after the Government declared the country back to normal and urged people back to their desks. The reality is that this situation will not change, indeed even fewer 'work' journeys will be made, yet neither party (Government nor Union) is set to embrace change.

My view is that railways are a necessary infrastructure and should be classed as an essential public service. They are not a business.

I would agree, however the issue is that railway projects and the nature of railways in the UK we are generally using infrastructure that was designed to service early/mid 19th cent Britain. Changing things is dreadfully slow often taking decades and you can almost guarantee that the government will have changed its policies, often multiple times while its being built(just look at HS2). I'm just trying to explain why we are at the point we are at, bottom line is if in 1946 the government had said.... Its a business or its a necessary infrastructure and stuck with it we would be in a better and safer place today
