Okay and the public sector payrise that has been awarded to teachers/doctors etc? That was simply given as a gift was it? What would have happened if no action at all had been taken at the beginning? 0% that’s for sure! And look how long that action had been taken also, not just 1 or 2 strike days.
This screams desperation, people are desperate. Why can’t rail staff be desperate too? Honestly for a rail forum, rail staff really are loathed by many here. At the end of the day, whatever job or sector you work in; these are desperate times and being told by, especially rich and well-off people in government, to just simply tighten your pockets is not on.
Stand for something or fall for anything, too many posters on here really are hellbent to continue to do the latter.!
