I hope they don’t get a penny increase.
Well there's a surprise. People on low wages (the majority of those striking are not drivers, but station staff, train conductors, platform staff, etc) having derisory pay offers and terms and conditions eroded being hoped that they don't get a penny increase because you've been put out. Divide and rule, and you've bought in to it, hook, line and sinker.
Take your ire out on the operating companies making these poor pay offers whilst paying their shareholders massive dividends, not the men and woman that earn these big wigs and shareholders massive salaries and only want a fair wage to support themselves and their families, whilst those at the top wouldn't know what a worry money was if it hit them in the face.
To turn it on its head, I hope you get put out more and more by these striking workers, simply because of your foul attitude towards them.
I'm out on strike on Friday, and of course, I'd much rather be driving my passengers from A to B, than have them have to make alternative arrangements, or cancel arrangements - but by the same token, I have to stand with my fellow workers to fight for what is right, for fair pay and conditions, which is really not a lot for any worker to want or ask for in the 21st century, whilst them at the top take all they can, when they could quite easily get by in life without a pay rise for the next 5 years.
It's greed at the top that's put you out, not those living on the poverty line and being undervalued at the bottom.
