[News] Train strikes ahead

[Alby]

Doesn't look too derisory to me:
A four-year TfW offer is for 8.9%, backdated to 1 April, taking drivers to £63,200, with another 7.9% in April 2024, lifting drivers' pay to £68,300, Aslef said. A further 4.1% in December 2024 will take drivers' pay to £71,000, which will increase in April 2025 by RPI inflation, the union said.17 May 2023

Doesn't look too derisory to me:
ASLEF has also had a fair and reasonable offer for members in England, that would take the average train drivers' salary from £60,000 to £65,000

That is a stand alone deal for TFW drivers as the Welsh assembly controls them , nothing like that has been offered to the drivers working for the TOCs controlled by the DFT.

No, if I was in charge of the railways (which despite some people thinking I am, I am sadly, not) I would let the unions negotiate locally with the companies rather than the RDG. Its quite clear the RDG is a middle man that isn't really providing any impact IMO, the government are increasingly playing silly games with the whole system.

Is Peter “Oyster” Hendy still invovled with Network Rail, how is he perceived?

Fancy falling for that worn out lie.

The average train driver's salary is £42,000.

Therefore the lowest paid by your logic are on a salary of £21000 - there must be thousands of them, if your figures are correct, or are you deliberately confusing the average and the mean. Also, is this the basic and not allowing for overtime, to which they voluntarily apply so as to considerably augment their pay.

Can’t say I’ve come across him recently, but I’ve not heard good things. Network Rail with all respect haven’t got the greatest rep at the moment.

Do we think the club might put on coaches for Brighton to Falmer? Has anyone ever attempted getting a taxi to collect them after a game?

This is Britain and in this glittering sea, this perfect fusion of man and mineral, we know that conflict will always perish in the brotherhood of flags. This is Britain and everything is alright. Everything is alright. Its okay. It's fine.
