Hardly for pure greed. This is a critical battle in the war to stop bosses and the government making ordinary people pay for the a crisis created by those at the top of society. The fight is not just for wages (though the pathetic increase offered actually works out as a pay cut even in todays period of low inflation) London Underground is cutting 1,000 jobs while Transport for London could slash 3,000 jobs. They want to weaken the RMT and push through a series of spending cuts to help pay the bill for the failure of the privatised Metronet infrastructure company.Rustovitch wrote:Every time their union decides to strike out of pure greed they should just be billed the estimated cost to the city.

Yeah because education makes people so superior intelectually. I have to laugh at people I continually meet that have a PHD in what ever but can't change a flat tire on their car safely. Yet the guy that built my car is way beneath them, and they would not speak to him.But that guy gets huge money and doesn't even have a high school deploma.
Train drivers are absurdly overpaid and occupy a fairly redundant position, and people are sick of their strikes disrupting what would otherwise be a decent service. I've not much tolerance for them.flashleg8 wrote:Hardly for pure greed.

I doubt it, but you're going to think whatever you want. I'll give an example of reality here though.Rustovitch wrote: Train drivers are absurdly overpaid and occupy a fairly redundant position, and people are sick of their strikes disrupting what would otherwise be a decent service.

Your example is not very persuasive, train drivers earn £30,000 on entry, doing a job that is largely automated. That is more than soldiers, policemen, teachers, shelf stackers, shop assistants...2dimes wrote:I doubt it, but you're going to think whatever you want.

Union electrician makes aprox $35/hour.
Rat bag electrician $38.
With hard fought benifits won decades ago when the Union was effective union guy costs the company $60/hour the extra money goes to medical insurance, pension and education funds so the ignorant high school drop out can take courses on how to install things like 'fire alarms'.
The corparate boot licking, wal-mart made in china buying, non-big three domestic driving member of the general public says. "60 bucks an hour? what a greedy union guy!! Unfair, I don't get paid that much and I have a PHD."
P.S. I went for a beer friday and it was $6.75 per bottle, a pair of blue jeans is $70 and it cost $60 to fill my blazer with gas. I'm so greedy to want to afford nice things for my family and I.
Once again, prove they are not needed and teach them a lesson by walking to where you're going.
Policemen and teachers both union positions. Which side are you on here?Rustovitch wrote:Your example is not very persuasive, train drivers earn £30,000 on entry, doing a job that is largely automated. That is more than soldiers, policemen, teachers, shelf stackers, shop assistants...
Unions are all well and good, but not when they they blackmail overly high salaries for obsolete jobs.
Soldiers make a lot more in benefits, believe me. (Even if most medical bills are caused from our profession...)2dimes wrote:Policemen and teachers both union positions.

I'm happy you've decided I'm right though and are walking instead of taking the train which is obsolete.
Let's leave out the soldiers as niether of us has been one and you have not worked with military agencies.
Worth every penny! Anyone that says you cost too much should leave the island here. Yes I am well aware that I am Canadian and I still know you are protecting my giant, burger eating, lazy ass as a member of the American military.Hologram wrote:Soldiers make a lot more in benefits, believe me.

We also cost the government a whole lot more than we're actually paid, in supplies and training.

I never said any of that...2dimes wrote:The first line was me pointing out you basically are saying, The union train drivers are greedy because they make more money than the union teachers and union policemen. Unions are all well and good unless they are effective.
