Guest sibon Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 And how much are railtrack workers on. Bet they are on a downside more than most yet they still want more and will blackmail in order to get it. The only people to lose out will be us passengers with our higher rail and delayed services we have to put up with. You should see how much the executives and traders at Barclays are on. Yet they aren't above screwing us all by manipulating markets and making huge profits from the rest of us mere mortals. Well done to the RMT. More of the same from the Trade Union Movement, please.

ECCOnoob Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 And how much are railtrack workers on. Bet they are on a downside more than most yet they still want more and will blackmail in order to get it. The only people to lose out will be us passengers with our higher rail and delayed services we have to put up with. Well said. Its always these operations who hold the country to ransom that get away with it year after year. Just like the oh so precious untouchable NHS and the London Underground. Absolute joke. Here is an interesting line I have read in one report. Network Rail employees had received pay rises eight times higher than those of other public sector workers over the last four years and had also been offered a deal for the next four years. In 2014 the average rail worker wage was £32,500. Hardly minimum wage. Typical unions. Threating to shut down a countries rail network seems like blatant extortion on a key part of the transport network. Do this or else attitude. Ah well, ATP is already here and ATO is coming. Tick tock....tick tock..... Lets see how many machines will be badgered into paying money to be part of the RMT. Oh yeah, NONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but the executives at Barclays aren't complaining and weren't threatening to bring the country to a standstill if they didn't get their own way.

I bet Barclays executives aren't complaining! earning pots of money for dodging dealings, knowing full well no custodial sentence will be handed down. Would you complain?

They don't need to bring the country to a standstill. They get to take my money (and yours), fraudulently, at will. And nobody seems able to stop them. Bunch of thieves. At least train drivers drive trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know how close the banks brought the country to a melt down? On Friday October 10th 2008, RBS said that if a solution wasn't found, they couldn't open on the Monday. This would have had a huge knock on effect on all the banks, with card transactions not going through and the cashpoints being switched off. Imagine the panic with people unable to get money out to buy food, fill their car up with petrol, or even able to go to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even go to a credit union if you feel morally obligated to do so. Yes they fiddle the libor rate however the rail companies take more of my money and they have to take it to pay peoples wages.

None of my money is with Barclays, but thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, the criminal activity of their traders and executives costs us all money, regardless of who we bank with. If you don't want the rail companies to take your money, why not buy a bike? After all, you don't have to use the train:rolleyes: Edited May 24, 2015 by sibon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
