Do you support the RMT?

The pace of change via technology and poor labour practices plus my 2 most recent hastily arranged redundancies make Mick Lynch seem like a kindly grandad trying to protect what's left of v decent pay and conditions for his own and disrupt the zero hrs, agency format so loved by Boris & co who cream off bumper profits via Capita, NHS supply etc.

Thanks for the response. So if they could get alternative workers, they’d sack them all today, but as they haven’t, they can’t.

Could the Tories alter the immigration laws to bring in foreign workers to man the railways, for instance?

They did that in the late 40s. For obviously completely different reasons.

Ironically a lot of those striking today are the children and grandchildren of that Windrush generation.

A lot of families have generations of rail workers in them.

Tories stated policy. How is this goal of a high wage economy compatible with fire and rehire?

That's not economic illiteracy, it's just another Con con.

 

[Vic]

What’s stopping them firing these workers anyway? We’ll see how this concludes, but I doubt it will be anytime soon.

They've got staff shortages now on the current wages.

We have Fijians working on railway construction jobs near Manchester.

True. But it is illiteracy if you are a true believer.

Have you considered mediation?

Fantastic Rally today.

Labour MP Nadia Whittome gave a great speech. She's also donated a couple of grand to the dispute fund.

Various unions spoke.

People have had enough and are voting accordingly.
