, and we think the Tories are bad .
Drivers are well paid , conditions they have are good , including great pension, and brilliant safety welfare at work ,they have regular medical tests and allowed to stay off until any suspected health issuers are completely resolved and then return on light duty and familiarisation training even if they have driven for 20 plus years , yes I have a few close driver friends saw one wage at over £90k with overtime others are upwards of 40 k to 60k .
Arrivai Train guards get 35k plus OT think the National average is 29k can earn a lot more with Overtime due to absence and there a lot that , some got a 4% rise Dec 21 .
The folk I really feel sorry for are bus drivers doing equally responsible job for £10 .50 an hour .
Power and greed blackmail of the rail unions has been with us for decades , never mind the folks who need to go to work on minimum wages , they did not got to furlough wages were supported all through that pandemic others suffered job loss and 20% pay drop .
How will this turn out automated trains because of wage demands.
This is a convenient political left battle tactic , like the issues with Passports / DVLA all to cause chaos and uncertainty I'm sure Sir Kier will be outraged . IA Is at highest in 5 yrs amid signs that workplace militancy is growing , is it political or is real hardship is the question especially when you see there are more jobs and the national Wage up again , the latest rise is the third highest annual increase since the crash of 2008
Should we not be pulling together to get the economy going and folk to work on time ??????????
PS Their fight for P&O workers is a just one as is real poorly paid folk
