The testing they go through now is pretty rigorous, not many silly Billy's get the job. Imagine hoping people lose their jobs for asking for a pay rise, lower than a snakes belly.

ri Alban Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) I'm sure we'd all love an inflation busting, cost of living pay rise. A grand a week isn't too bad with the shite most folk are up against. Feck it let's give the whole state a 9% pay rise, I'm sure we're all up for paying the high tax required. More tax, better services, not more tax for extortionate wages. Anyway, I don't use the train, so couldn't give a feck. The more I think about it, get them stopped and give the bus drivers a pay rise, they at least need to deal with the public, more traffic, and they too get people jumping in front of them.

Dazo Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Looking at the state of the ScotRail employees it certainly looks like they are due a pay rise. I’d make it a condition of any pay offer that they smarten themselves up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart of lothian Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Ked, your wrong about the wages and wrong about the Pension. And you know nothing about the contract they are on. Or industrial relations in the railway in general. Dazo the reason the staff are scruffy is that they have had no new uniform since the start of the Abellio contract. (2015). Lots of guys buying there own trousers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
