Striker
I will reiterate, striking is right, the timing is wrong.
Yeah, you keep repeating this line but have totally ignored my retort to it.
The timing is perfect. For a variety of reasons, but the main one being - the employers (and the government) wish to WORSEN the pay, conditions and working practices of the railwayworkers NOW. Not in a few months, not next year, NOW. So they have to act NOW.
With the greatest of respect you’re stupid enough to have bought into the right wing’s ‘race to the bottom’ narrative. You’ve been taken in hook, line and sinker by it.Do you honestly think I am stupid enough to be a 50 year old lad from monkey house to think I am the only one who suffered?
If everyone else was raking it in and they were being shafted then fair enough. The fact is they are earning way more than nurses etc.
What everyone else is getting is completely irrelevant to the RMT and it’s members.
But for what it’s worth, the RMT have already stated they would fully support the nurses in any industrial action they wish to take.
It’s up to the nursing/NHS workers union(s) to take action. Not the RMT.
I don’t hate British workers at all, I employ 90 of them.
I just think when everyone is struggling striking isn’t the right idea.
As a business owner I am working my arse off to survive, I have employees who work live in Durham, I’ve given them shortened shifts or holidays in to cover the strikes.
Where is the consideration of small business owners etc
But aye as long as the RMT owners are okay.
Why are you aiming your anger at the RMT and it’s members?
Why are you not aiming your anger at the employers and the government? They are as culpable, if not MORE culpable than the RMT for these strikes taking place.
Everyone is struggling, that’s the f*cking point (for about the 86th time). Public sector workers have seen their pay CUT in real terms by 20% since the Tories got in. TWENTY PERCENT.
So you think they should just carry on allowing themselves to be shafted do you?
