Do you support the RMT?

The Tories fuck up the economy, then go for Brexit to kill it, inflation rises, the economy suffers a lack of workers in key industries, workers are asked to accept a wage rise that means a cut, even if you get 5% you are 5% down in a cost of living crises created by those bastards and when you go on strike it’s your fault? Fuck off you Tory useless bastards.

The whole of The public transport infrastructure in this country is fucking mess, but especially the rail industry. Absolute rip off and generally a piss poor service for what you pay for.

Nationalise the fucking thing and stop the profiteering from somthing which is an absolute necessity to the future economic success of our country.

Why not? How come no one gives a fuck about non working class types of jobs? Why shouldn’t they be paid what they are getting? Is it too much for a working class man or woman to earn £40k for doing a job? People have been brainwashed into believing we can only earn so much. Try having a look at Accountants, marketing Managers, and all the others that pay more but never get mentioned. Only jobs done by working class people have to limit what they ought to get. When they start capping those wankers in the city getting millions in bonuses then we can face a look at people who keep our trains safe and moving.

Because if everyone raises wages by 10% then we'll be getting inflation to be over 10% for another year. Vicious circle. Everyone needs to take a hit to stop what's happening. Either that or start a proper taxation of the wealthy but that's not going to happen whilst the tories are in.

Yes and it’s those earning less that take the hit. When the fuck is England going to stop electing these utter cunts? It’s actually embarrassing being duped to vote for a party that don’t give a single fuck about anyone but their class.

That’s the problem. A country who keeps putting them in Number 10. Public sector, low paid pay the price. Why should we? Why not get off our fucking knees and say go fuck your self?

Which kids travel to school by train that aren't in private ones?

They are the only ones I have experience of and they got different rules during COVID. As we ran special trains for Tarquin to his private school in Lincolnshire from Nottingham whilst cutting essential workers services to get them to their shifts.


The government (Schapps) have politicised the strike. I've spoke to directors of TOCs in my union roles who have told me they've asked the DFT to be allowed to sort the dispute and they are being ignored as well.


I don't want to strike but it's a last resort.


Station staff replaced by agency staff who are there purely for customer service at "Network Rail Hub stations only" who will be the only stations with manned booking offices. Other stations, for example Stockport/Occy Road will be expected to be fully automated. Right down to safe dispatch of trains.

Potters Bar, Hadfield, Grayrigg. Three rail disasters that could have been averted if private owned infrastructure company had done its job at the time. The tories seem to have forgotten this and want to increase subcontracting maintenance projects away from Networks rail responsibility.

We're fighting to protect jobs and safety of all passengers that use the network. The DFT think putting everything on an app is the best for the public. What they really mean is creaming off profits to the management contractors who will run the "nationalised" Great British Railway.

Striking is always the last resort. Lay members understand why it's been called and support it.

Personally I'm hoping, albeit naïvely that we will have made our point this week and negotiations will begin in earnest after.

Seriously mate, how many kids actually get a train to school?

At my primary and secondary school nobody I knew got a train and I am pretty certain the overwhelming majority of school kids are at most a bus ride away from their school. My best mate actually moved house so he would fall under a schools catchment area, his kids were then a bus ride away.
 
Govt have to make sure we all know that Labour support the strike and are in the pockets of the unions for the next GE.
Then Bozo and co will miraculously end the strike and break the unions.
Another dead cat didn't die in vane

Bang on the money , sick and fucking tired of the gullible swallowing the shite printed in the right wing press about the majority having to make sacrifices while those at the top continuously take more and more .
