Dread to think what working life would be like had trade unions not existed

@SW-User maybe if the government raised wages as well as inflation then the RMT wouldn't need to go on strike

@Loopysoutherner Nice of them to deprive other workers the possibility of earning their living...

@SW-User so the rail workers should work for less money?

@Loopysoutherner We both know there is a settlement there if they want it. Less money? Are you serious? I woukd happily take 60,000 to drive a train.

@SW-User the rail workers said they want a 7 per cent increase in wages and the government offered a mere 2 per cent increase which is pathetic

@Loopysoutherner Who in this country can get 7.percent. ps...thr government does not make salary offers!

@SW-User whose who don't accept inflation rising and be expected to just put up with it

@Loopysoutherner What, like me? I have no rich union boss helping me. I lost freelance work in the train strike and people are losing work with the bus strike. That's just a fact.

@SW-User that's down to their bosses not giving a shit about workers

@Loopysoutherner This is getting tediious now. Workers hurray...bosses boo. Come on, try harder.

@SW-User weird that you claim to support Labour but hate workers and unions

@SW-User how come you hate workers and unions so much?
