staff insulting passengers, and calling us "spotters" is hardly going to get any passengers to support this strike action.
Many people have a low opinion over the RMT (rightly or wrongly!) due to their previous actions. It's their word against NRs.
Most people can't just demand better pay & conditions or they'll strike. Most have to find a new job if they are unhappy, and if many people do this the company will be forced to increase pay & conditions. That's not to say I never agree with strike action - but only under extreme cases.
The deal looks good to me, and I am not sure how NR can justifiably spend loads of taxpayers money on better deals every time a union demands an even better deal.
But why should we believe the RMT over NR?TicketMan said:Strike action is a last resort. Everyone loses out. If Network Rail weren't so stubborn, it wouldn't be happening.
