[Misc] Will the Unions bring everyone to their knees?

Deleted member 2719 · Jun 21, 2022

Well, I am surprised to see no thread regarding the RMT screwing up the country when everyone is trying hard to work a plan going forward.

Just because they feel hard done by.

Does anyone feel sorry for these guys who appear to be playing politics because they smell blood?

How many people who have been on the edge of bankruptcy because of covid, will now topple off the cliff because of more loss of income?

Just what the country didn't want.

How many other vulture Unions will follow this country destroying route?

Is it time for the worker to make a stand against their union?

“Screwing up the country”

It’s not the unions you should be pointing your finger at.

It is. Red Mick and Dempsey are Marxist parasites who benefit from the hard work of their members. This is for the most part their fight, and it's entirely on their part, political.

I understand some Labour MPs have defied Starmer and joined the picket lines.

Osborne, Barker and Mishra are front benchers posting pics from the line.

What is his line on all this mess?

I am angry with both. Again the government are treating rail workers with the same level of disdain as public health workers.

I’m angry with the RMT because the timing and severity of the strikes.

After the past 2 years the last thing businesses that rely on commuters need is basically shutting down for a week.. again.

So we shouldn't discuss the main topic of the week on nsc

So are you happy with the fact many businesses have had the air pipes cut off by the union?
These poor business have only just started to breath again.

Why do you feel the government are treating them with disdain? I clearly with you on the second part.

And yet, 71% of the 40,000 RMT members voted in the strike ballot, of which 89% voted for industrial action.

That’s democracy for you.

I wonder if he has one, yet again this will expose his weak opposition,I reckon the far left will be crawling all over him very soon.

By not even attempting to negotiate or attend talks.

Network Rail made £500M pre tax profits last year, with its CEO earning £600k. Yet there has been very minimal pay increases, entering into redundancy consultation period and looking to generalise maintenance roles - where as you have specialised engineers at the moment, they want people to multi skill to be able to do more where there are genuine safety concerns over this.

In terms of the rail companies, there are some roles not even paying living wage for things like cleaners. While the private companies pay out huge profits (taken off shore) and pay out shareholder dividends while freezing pay.

Why would you be against someone on £18,000 a year wanting to be paid for ?

Can the country vote on it? Let's see how that works out, because ultimately it is no more the self harm imo.

“In your opinion “
Says it all really.

If you were a member of the RMT you could have voted.

Have you been personally affected by the current round of industrial action?
Has it affected your business?
Have you had to cancel social events, or even medical appointments due to the strike?

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
