I'm sorry , is that some kind of joke, RMT members creating wealth? Since
when? Their pay comes from a mix of taxation and money from the public. How
is that creating any wealth?


The output of the companies they work for does contribute to GDP,
however the overall contribution to GDP must be far less than the cost
of expensively subsidising the rail industry. So, there is a negative
contribution to the economy, because the rail industry takes out so
much more than it puts back.
