What happens when machines can do all jobs? There is no job that can't eventually be done by machine or computer. May sound like vacation-life for all but will probably end up:. He who owns the machines are billionaires, he who doesn't is in poverty but those in poverty should be thankful for the owners because their taxes after all pay their pittance to barely allow them to live. Scary days when machines get to the point they can do all our jobs.
I said something earlier in the thread, it was about all the supermarket checkout jobs that have been lost, due to automation, we are talking about workers paid a lot less than rail workers - I don't remember hearing any boycotts of those supermarkets, everyone has happily accepted automation in everything they do. So why should it be any different for the lazy fookers that are rail workers, cavemen who just press a few buttons. Sack them all and make that automated too, the government is taking the right approach. Everyone has worked happily in general from home for the last two or three years, these rail jobs are no longer needed, surplus to requirements, end of another union rip.
I didn't say it was good, I said it was inevitable. Unless we destroy ourselves first, of course. That's why I never buy from amazon, or hire an Uber.
@Archers Road will be on later to show us all his pictures on the picket line, hope he will be able to explain to the mrs, why the pay check will be short next month.
Rail travel assistants - £33,310 - includes ticket collectors, guards and information staff This is also the RMT figure, doubt you will find any shop floor worker on even half of that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/61840077
I find that hard to believe, yes there are going to be some rubbish hours in there but that's a lot for an Admin/customer service job.
yet some of the other jobs if anything seem underpaid Rail construction and maintenance operatives - £34,998 - they lay and repair tracks particularly as that includes jobs for which you need a degree from what i can see on Network Rails site .
This is the thing though mate, why don't the RMT Union actually post the salaries so we do know, is there something to hide, do they not want the public knowing the facts? It seems to be the common trait of those supporting the unions, that they don't earn that, so tell us what they do earn then.
I thought there was supposed to be plenty of job vacancies in this country according to the left when you hear them yapping, so if you are not happy in your job, leave and get another job, it's easy.
thought it was fairly obvious tbh Seems odd that the median salary is the approx same for those 2 categories when you would expect the other to be quite a bit higher . weirdly on network rail site an admin job on a FTA for 12 months is advertised with a salary of £20k so that group must have some huge differences in it .
What's wrong with £20k? Absolutely thousands if not millions of workers probably on less than that. Do you really think the higher paid are voting to strike purely for the less paid, if you do you are more gulliable than I thought.
it is not according to the left it is the official Govt stat mind you considering some of your rants you probably think this Govt are a bunch of lefties.
Well there's plenty of jobs then, if they are not happy they can leave, as I've already told you. Try reading for a change, you might learn something.
