So the union has just turned down a 24% pay rise on Southern Rail drivers.
This would put them from £48k to £60k on a 4 day effing week. They have an option to earn £75k on a 5 day week.
Anyone who thinks this ongoing dispute is anything but the unions holding the tax payer to ransom, is a tit.

The only service where the treasury keeps the ticket revenue folks. All the way the rail operator has backed down to see the Scumbag union change the goalposts.

Time to end this union blackmail? £75K for a 5 day week and still on strike is cloud Val land.

They need to go away and be replaced with very small shell scripts.

Easy money, you'll love it!

Oh look, the Unions are destroying another industry, there's a surprise.

On the plus side, they're making a good case for driverless trains.

[Jewlio Rides Again LLB]

Well done the union.

You can bet if it was 5-0McPlodFace bnp72 would be telling us how great they are.

Grovelling toad.

Well done in the sense that this will hasten the removal of human train drivers from passenger services? I agree.

Stop being racist. If everyone gets paid loads, everybody will be rich and we'll all live in mansions with butlers.

Rich butlers who live in mansions with butlers.

This industrial action is not about more money, it's about safety and I'm sure all drivers want less pay but a safer railway.

its one thing trundling about driverless in a big city at 30 mph with relief/emergency services just minutes away,but fan covered in shit at125mph in remotest northumberland is another matter? wouldn't it be nice to have 'someone' on board in this situation ? i quite like the idea of someone driving a train who is not on minimum wage and doesn't give a toss about the job. this thread is just shed loads of jealousy,good luck to them.

fwiw, I know a train driver. He seems to have an endless list of anecdotal evidence where work has been avoided, because of spurious reasons which essentially centre on the whole industry having this endemic "I'm going to milk the system" attitude. They try to get away with zero work if at all possible, but if it is possible, they'll ream it for the maximum time back or (and) cash payment.

I don't hate the players, I hate the game. And in this case, it's the unions being unions. If you were to ask each train driver individually the question "will you take £75k in pay, while you can, because it's not long before a robot does your job", you'd get a load of 'yessirs'. Ask them all via the unions, you get shown the door.
