A fair Salary

...even though they earn £30k...


Fought for and won by the actions of strong trade unions.
And why shouldnt they earn that kind of money?


I don't say they shouldn't; I'm saying you shouldn't claim it's not a
fair salary.

By ****ing off the people you're supposed to be serving...? Good to
see the spirit of customer service is alive and well, isn't it?


If customer service means me earning less, working longer hours in a more
dangerous enviroment, haveing my pension turned into some mickey mouse
money purchase scheme and being sacked on the whim of a manager in a bad
mood you are going to be ****ed of for a long time.


I know that, as long as tht **** Crow is in charge.

Being in a customer service industry means that if you have to take
industrial action, you do it in a way that doesn't decrease service to
your customers. Unless you're suggesting that it's your customers who
are the problem.


Exactly - look at the bus strikes in Dublin. They operate the exact same
service as usual, only they don't charge the public. The bosses get it in
the neck, and the public get their service for free. THAT'S how you get
public support. I'm sure most Dubliners would take a bullet for the your
average bus driver. Most Londoners would rather beat seven shades of poop
out of the nearest striking LU employee with a bag of frozen dog turd for
punishing them when they need to travel the most.
