So it looks like the London tube drivers are striking again!
Another week of misery beckons in November! What’s wrong?? £60,000+ salary, 49 days paid holiday, private healthcare and final salary pension not good enough??😡😡

@Thinkerbell Aslef are so powerful they just need to threaten to bring the capital to a grinding halt whenever they feel like it

said it before, I'll say it again... unions need to be outlawed; they no longer serve the purpose for which they were created.
don't get paid enough to do your job? quit... find another job
complain about working conditions, but have no problems standing around with a bunch of obnoxious karens waving a sign all day? you're fired...

@wildbill83 It's different with Aslef. It's a semi-closed club, You don't become a tube driver unless you have worked for Tfl, no-one else can apply. The jobs are like gold dust.

average salary in London is around £44,370 per year, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This is higher than the median annual earnings in the UK, which was £34,963 in 2023.

@RachelLia2003 I assume you meant Communism....
Since when have pay and/or conditions disputes been an aspect of Communism?
The UK is not Communist. The Greater London Council - or whatever it calls itself these days - is not Communist.
Communist systems would not pay anything like as generously as that, but even if they do, are hardly noted for tolerating unions, let alone any dissent.
Fire them.... Then what? Who would drive the trains? Or teach any replacements how to?
Your comment is totally incorrect.

What are they disputing?
Mesthartiya · MNew
@ArishMell They're not making as much money as drivers on the Elizabeth Line. They're only on £60-70k bless them.

@Mesthartiya Thankyou1 Different companies then? Or all Transport for London staff?
