Nope.... It's every man for themselves now! The referendum was the first time in ten years I have cared about anything to do with politics...... They are all ****s and all you can do is mitigate against the damage their stupidness causes you. Besides now we are out it won't ever rain again and children will no longer cry.
I'm not getting into the DOO debate about it now as it's too complex but suffice to say that you can't put a price on passenger safety, security or the simple reassuring knowledge of a second go to person, not least as we're trained and continually assessed in 35 different elements ranging from protection of the line to safeguarding passengers.
They're being downgraded officially from August when Southern say it kicks in from, the argument is over whether there's a second train crew member on board, it's over their job description.
Shame the shareholders of these franchised rail companies don't give a **** about any of that..... With a 10 year franchise none of them take a long term view.
Soppy bollox You replied to my post about Ireland and potential for new troubles. McGuiness the terrorist **** was all over it yesterday with a plea for a united Ireland.
Need to stop pissing about and go all out and the rest of you need to do the same. This comes in and all local and comuter trains go the same way. I can picture you pushing the tea trolley.
Only if I apply to Rail Gourmet. Southern's CEO has released propaganda statements in the Metro & Evening Standard the day before every strike but changed the wording in the last one, he previously said that nobody would be losing their job but just simply downgraded with all door control responsibility passing to the driver. The last statement he repeated that but also added that nobody would suffer a pay cut, so my take on that is that I'd want to see the contract first before I signed as you couldn't trust him to back it up, it could be bullshit to try to end the strike. If it's true then you couldn't blame guards for thinking **** it and let the driver do it, just doing what we do now but without any safety critical stuff to worry about for the same money, but I find that very hard to believe given that it's all about saving money.
No applying required..... Suitable alternative employment, and regrade the job and cut pay at 90 days notice. Leaves staff with a choice of accepting or walking away with nada. That's where a Tory government gets the working man.
