Do you support the RMT?

Public sector to be offered less than 5% by all accounts, nevermind the clapping helped!

One out, all out!

Train services cancelled - some others very restricted all coz of heat yet there are no reports in the news of the massive impact to the economy this is causing.............. how strange

Although it illegal for unions to co ordinate strikes, let’s just say if they are having a piss in the toilets and a particular date gets mentioned and they all come up with it “seperately” then it’s not illegal ;)

This bunch of cretins (sorry, government) will probably bring in legislation for employees not in the same union to stagger their "comfort breaks" to avoid such clandestine meetings.
It really depends on what their paymasters instruct them to do - they say "jump", HMG say "how high?"

Been there, done that in 1981. I was a Collector of Taxes at the time, and took a 6 week suspension. I wouldn't mind, but I voted the bastards in!
Never happened since, I hasten to add.

Expect the fire service to follow as well, non of us are asking for the Earth and when they blown billions over the panademic, I wonder if that magic money tree can re appear?

2% is a fucking piss take. I’d be amazed if we didn’t go out the doors

New entrants less inclined to take action than those who've retired since the last strike?

Possibly pal, but that’s upto the older end to get a grip of them and tell them the score.

If you’re still undecided about who to believe out of the RMT and the government while they both accuse each other of not doing all they can to resolve this dispute, you may want to watch a clip of the transport minister Grant Shapps on Good Morning Britain, this morning.

He admitted in plain English that it is the government who decide how much rail workers should be earning. This is two weeks since he replied to Mick Lynch’s request for a face to face meeting to get this dispute resolved, by telling him it was none of his business and the train companies alone have the full power to agree whatever they deem fit.

One thing is an absolute certainty. He was either lying today or he was lying two weeks ago.
