Sometimes I think better and sometimes not so good . Sadly in the uk their just a bloody nuisance as there is forever strikes especially by the rail and transport unions who seem to think their hard done by and arnt . They get way above the average wage its just bloody greed because they know they can hold the country to ransom they make me sick.

@Rhode57 Trades unions use just the same leverage as their corporate bosses, who refer to it as The Law of Supply and Demand. But it's not a law. It's just evidence of human greed - or sometimes of human need, depending on the actual circumstances.

@Loopysoutherner They are a good thing most of the time but now its taking the piss . There are others far worse off than them who deserve a payrise like nurses . For what they do train drivers get a really good pay deal .

@Really what question was that?

@Rhode57 the trade unions for nurses should be doing their job to improve wages. It's mick lynchs Job to improve the rights of rail workers

@Rhode57 inflation is rising up to 11 percent but not the train workers wages
