Morning
As somebody who is currently on the recruitment journey for a Trainee Driver, I wanted to ask those way more experienced about thoughts on Nationalisation and it's impact on a future career as a Driver. Some questions I have come up with are below:
How will a Nationalised Railway affect the future if I joined as a trainee and the Railways were nationalised in the meantime?
Would TUPE protect future pay and Final Salary Pensions? The TOCs I have seen offer a final salary pension scheme, but the public sector don't as such, could this change?
ASLEF is very much aligned to the Labour Government, do people think think would be a positive or negative if Railways were Nationalised ie. More support from Govt or More expectation from Govt for the Unions to conform?
I could go on and I am sure there will be more points raised. But in summary I am not experienced enough to know the impact on pay, pensions and thoughts of a possible future on a Nationalised Railway, so would appreciate any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
