Guest Flash Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) BBC reporting now that the RMT leaders haven’t rejected the Scotrail pay offer and they will decide whether or not to accept it next week. So, the strike ballot isn’t definite at the moment. Comments are at the end of the article about the late night services. “RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "This matter has not been considered by our national executive committee and will be put before them next week so they can make a decision."” BBC News Edited June 10, 2022 by Flash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 As predicted, it's now the turn of teachers and binmen. Nicola Sturgeon on collision course with teachers and binmen over pay (msn.com)All of whom should only seek and be grateful for a payrise commensurate with the opinions of strangers, rather than what they feel they need to make ends meet, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 As predicted, it's now the turn of teachers and binmen. Nicola Sturgeon on collision course with teachers and binmen over pay (msn.com)Funny how gammons like yourself are getting all upset about public sector workers wanting a fair pay rise, 9 billion wasted on unusable or expired PPE during the covid pandemic but it's the workers wanting a pay rise that's making taxes go up. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A newly qualified teacher is in the top half of earners in the country. After five years they're over £40k.I'm not saying they aren't deserving of more, but to say they're in danger of not being able to make ends meet is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, it's turn of phrase, but they are protecting themselves, and if they are spending to their means, or maybe the sole income for a family, then it won't take long in the current climate before the ends don't meet. Some people have more cloth there to be cut than others, but everyone who is telling those queuing up to tell us all how reasonable we must be when asking for pay rises that reflect the increase in cost of living (like the governor of the BoE, and Boris Johnson) to go f**k themselves have my support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the f**k is accepting of increased prices? What a load of shite. There’s an entire thread centred around folk seething about increased energy prices. The rise in Petrol prices is affecting me a lot personally and I’m certainly not happy about it. You’ve just totally invented that entire post. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 if they are spending to their means, or maybe the sole income for a family, then it won't take long in the current climate before the ends don't meet. If folk are spending at their limit on forty grand a year then I doubt chucking an extra 10% their way is going to inject them with financial prudence.Rewarding people with a pay rise because they didn't save for a rainy day and don't want to trade in their Audi for a hatchback is sheer folly. The usual suspects moaning about workers having the audacity to ask for more - I assume these same people are content with their wages and wouldn't dream of asking for a wage rise? I'm content with my current wages and have never asked for a wage rise in my life. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
