I reckon Brb was a typical white collar, middle management employee that enjoyed a works canteen or luncheon vouchers, 40 hour week, 4 weeks paid holiday plus BH’s off and if lucky, a early shoot on a Friday.
All of the benefits he enjoyed were a result of unions sticking up for the working man, but he still hates them…go figure <whistle>

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 .

That includes unsociable hours at weekends and nights .
Sounds like a pretty poor return to me .

But I'm not chatting shhite, when do people complain about using automated check outs at supermarkets, when did people complain about using automated petrol pumps, when did people complain about just in time, that had to use robots instead of humans, not just amazon either, but the well known supermarkets. When did people complain about automated check ins at airports. A lot of those former jobs were our lowest paid workers, but railways or something. When did people complain when as part of the EU we paid Eastern European drivers less than the minimum wage, the list goes on. You all have very selective memories.

As we move away from fossil fuels towards greener energy, all I can say is thank you Maggie, without her we would have still been in the dark ages today. The marvelous woman had the foresight to give them all a good slapping and say, we WILL close the mines.

Today history is repeating itself, as we move towards a greener future, stay strong people, we can defeat these union knuckle draggers from bygone times.

A world without fossels would be a barren land devoid of happiness ...

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.

What the **** do you know about graft? Standing there on a platform drinking tea chatting to people.

Watch you don't put your back out there, Archers. A days graft would end you.
 
How comes Archers is a bit of a target here cos he works on trains?
 
I loved the polls today

Two thirds of people over 65 do not support union strikes

Yet at least half of young people do support union strikes

Well the reason for more support from the younger generation is because they didn't see the depth of darkness the unions plunged this country into in the 70's, it's why the British public for decades refused to ever vote them in again and then when we did they blew the shhite out of the middle east..

I for one will not vote for Labour if this country suffers because of strikes. You can pretty much guarantee that it will have lost Labour a fair few votes today.

Nah, they still remember the gutter Labour dragged us down all those decades ago, then when they weren't causing strikes they picked a fight on the back of a pack of lies with the middle east. That's the real labour and it's rearing it's ugly head today, that's why people should never ever vote labour. Watch the likes of John McDonnell joining the picket lines, that's all you need to see and know, knuckle draggers the lot of them.
 
I took my small pay rise this year with open arms as it’s better than a kick in the teeth. If these train boys get a phat pay rise, I know where I’ll be working next <cheers>
