That a couple in full time work 

That a couple both working in full time employment cannot afford a roof over their heads and food on the table, let alone heating is a national disgrace.

 

To tell that couple about to be made homeless with no option but to live on the street, to 'raise your productivity' is an insult. 

have you been reading union pamphlets again

rise your productivity, then talk about pay rises

The government want more trains on a weekend and at unsociable days.

The train staff don't what more hours, pay them more to work weekends and not a below inflation pay rise, they might think about it.

That is how employers encourage people to work more, time and a half, double time etc

The price of housing is a national disgrace. 
The ease in which mortgages were given in recent years helped to increase the prices.

Really? I had a funtime in the 1970s, on my Raleigh Grifter listening to pop music.

But were you working and being taxed high to pay for the high inflation? Sounds like you were a kiddie back then.

They are short staffed, so they do as many hours as they want. Why would they agree to doing more?

I don't work weekends, how about you?
