I'd read somewhere that the issue in the press about train drivers wanting more money when they are already well paid (which they are in comparison to many) is not actually that relevant as most belong to a different union. The RMT represents members across different functions and the action is not just about pay but potential job cuts and erosion of terms and conditions. That said, they are still comparatively well paid when you look at other sectors so don't have a lot of sympathy for them. Likewise, I tend to agree with Mick and others that those refusing to work for £10-15 an hour are both workshy and also don't appreciate why so many companies cannot afford to raise their wages to match current inflation rates due to massive hikes in their own other costs.
