Makes me laugh when people say we have to get rid of Labour because of the unions. This Labour government have most certainly not been on the side of trade unions, and nor should they. Some unions are even debating withdrawing their funding of the Labour party.
I am in a trade union. To be honest, they are more interested in selling me insurance than representing me, but they do have their place. At the same time, you have got to be reasonable. I wasn't given a pay rise this year, and my colleagues and I accepted this given the state of the economy and our particular business.
Slagging off the wages the drivers get for their 'unskilled' work as a bit much to be honest. There are plently of working people who don't justify anything like they are paid.
It would appear (admittedly without knowing the full facts) that the RMT and their members are out of order.
