19QOS19 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 If true, diabolical!! Maybe the Queens guy could elaborate on this?No idea. I don't know anything about Network Rail's working practices tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 The chief executive of network rail is on £500k or thereabouts is he not? If he thinks his company is a crock of shit why doesn't he take a pay cut for overseeing such a terrible organisation rather than saying if folk shared vans it will all be okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Loads of big companies have flabby, inefficient maintenance management systems. Almost all of them also have time writing systems to book jobs against. Literally none of that is news. But that said, I am sure it's a wild exaggeration, or if it isn't, it will involve citing the person who raised the issue with a plug socket, the manager who approved the work, the planner who planned the work, etc etc. Absolute spin on a very common workplace frustration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this is all exaggeration, you would think that work efficiencies would form a big part of wage negotiations as, the more efficient and lean the organisation is, then the more can be given out in wages. With a shortage of labour it’s hard to use the argument of protecting employment levels. would like to hear more on this specific contention about Network Rail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think increasing the number of hours worked coupled with redundancies is going to address the issues raised in the article. I think the article is designed to say look how inefficient it is (by a man paid a very very decent wage to run the firm) without saying how the proposed pay offer helps tackle the issues raised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the story was anyway near true you wouldn’t need to increase the number of worked hours as the jobs needing done could be performed in fewer man hours. There always must be people retiring or leaving for multitudinous reasons which means that a gradual reduction in the workforce could be achieved without mass redundancies, I would have thought. Anyway, we need more facts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Frank Sobotka was a good union man and had links to organised crime (including human trafficking). It's not a stretch to believe that many union officials participate in similar criminal activity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very disappointed if it's just a decent house or that he drives a fancy car. Footage of him singing The Internationale with Corbyn would be thin gruel but good for the gammon rage.

welshbairn Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Newsnight saying that private sector wages went up 8% in the year to April, public sector 1.5%. Have to assume that 8% was skewed towards the boardroom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
