Julia Hartley Brewer takes on Mick Lynch

Mick Lynch has warned the rail dispute could be prolonged “indefinitely” as the latest strike by thousands of workers caused travel misery for passengers.
The general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), called on the Government to end its stance of refusing to get involved in talks over pay, jobs and conditions.
He joined a picket line outside Euston station in London as only around one in five trains were running across the country because of the walkout by members of the RMT and TSSA unions.
Mr Lynch has written to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, saying: “Your government has made the decision to use taxpayers’ money to bail out private train companies from being liable for revenue lost because of industrial action on the condition the same companies comply with government instructions to hold down pay, cut thousands of safety critical rail jobs, introduce driver only trains and close ticket offices across the network.”
Mr Lynch said the union had calculated that, including the previous and forthcoming industrial action, more than £120 million of taxpayers’ money had been used to “bail out” private train companies to date.

@@rphilipsgeekery4589 The point is that money needs to be tied to something,...most modern problems stem from the joint UK/US decision to scrap the Gold Standard and to print money on the basis of what they could forecast raising from future tax revenues. The Dollar provides a Gold substitute for most countries as the US tax-payer will be used the the Fed to under-write all debts so that the dollar doesn't fail,...but unlike Gold which was to a degree finite and 'honest', the revenues from future generations of tax-payers leads to increasingly 'dishonest' State controlled economic decisions, and we are somewhere on a nasty spiral down into socialist/fascist economic hell. A return to Gold, and a hefty injection of free-market economic policies would correct the problem,...but the public are addicted to 'free' stuff (which their children and grand-children will pay for) from increasingly socialist/fascist political parties. hence the tories being tied to New Labour policies from the 90s and unable to conceive of delivering even the moderate Conservative policies of the 80's...heaven knows where we'll be in another 30 years if we keep going like this.

Evola’s sunglasses Two years back, some journalists and political commentators (who weren’t being paid to keep quiet) warned of exactly what has now come to pass-high inflation and a ballooning of the national debt. The government will try and pass the buck (Ukraine/covid etc..) but it was their economic policies that has directly put the nation in the precarious situation it’s in now. I’m fed up carrying the can for millionaires mistakes.

Train Drivers not getting a decent wage lol.

[@charliewalker9443]

@@douglastaggart9360 No it is not decent in relation to inflation. 3 year pay freeze has meant over the course of the last 3 years, I am 400-500 worse off because my non negotiable bills have increased. I am sick of this race to the bottom, where people think everyone else has to accept a shittier wage for themselves just because some people out there suffer more. This is nonsense.

why do these people ask someone a question and always butt in halfway through the answer ?

Brewer was surprisingly reasonable! Lynch is absolutely right people complaining about others workers will also want a raise, so what! This is what should happen. Try taking money back from the greedy rich and in many cases corrupt parasites that unjustly take an obscenely disproportionate amount from this country!!

The government did say at the beginning of the year that people should ask there employer for a rise. They didn't advise what to do when the answer was no or dissatisfactory though

I work in the private sector, I just asked my boss for a pay rise, I got turned down. I do wonder what would happen if I went on strike, I know, I’ll get sacked.

[@liveitlarge68]

@justin Or I just work harder and/or look for another job, if need be, apply for a job ins other country if the money is better.

[@liveitlarge68]

@justin I’m saying we live in a free market where there are so many jobs and career paths. If you feel you are not being paid enough (like everyone does), ask for a pay rise, if you don’t get one, look for another job. There is zero need to go on a strike and impact the lives of so many people who in effect pay your salaries.

Julia Hartless Brewery takes on Mick Lynch I beg to differ The phrase couldnt run a piss up in a brewery springs to mind. Ironic to think Juliane Assange is in jail for exposing corruption while this tory mouth piece is raking it in .Well done to Mick Lynch for standing up to her.

[@mikepierce2077]

The argument that because someone needs a service you offer, you have to offer it is invalid. You cannot force someone to work in a job just because it's necessary. That's enforced labour, otherwise known as slavery. This channel is slowly losing my respect.

No sign of a balanced input below.. one could be forgiven thinking that those commenting are all union affiliates.

[@charliewalker9443]

There is no quota in place to demand fair output of comments representation for videos like this. I think everyone in the country should support the strike for no other reason that the powers that be are looking to ban strikes full stop. This, should it get passed through, is the death of people having any strength to bargain with. And the eventual death of democracy.
