      >Mr Brennan said the offer would leave members on a lower salary than drivers on other TfL services, such as the Elizabeth line and Overground.

      I don’t think that’s unreasonable, if anything I’m shocked that TfL doesn’t have a standard salary framework for all train services in it’s remit.

      Entirely predictable – if you start giving some unions above inflation pay rises – the rest will make similar demands.

      The tax, and commuting costs of those on 26k will pay for their raise.

      Well there’s a surprise. I mean, it must’ve been at least a week since their last payrise.

      I understand that it inconveniences people when they strike but, if they can get more money added to their annual salary for what they do, I say go for it.

      This is getting silly and performative

      Train strikes originally were meant to be about the horrible working conditions, not about pay, which train drivers already have a lot of.

      Fair play to them. Other unions should take notes, looking at you Nurses

      Half of the stuff you mentioned here would have to be bought anyways.

      Look forward to the day we can have an automated system across the network. In Singapore, I experienced delays about 3 times in 5 years. (cancellations and strikes, never).

      Cause once again the Tube’s on strike

      The greedy bastards want extra pay

      For sitting on their arse all day

      Even though they earn ~~30k~~ 60k

      Everyone loves a union until they start taking the piss and holding the service to ransom.

      Let’s be real, a tube driver shouldn’t earn more than a nurse or teacher (say 40-50k). And yet BASE pay was 52k in 2018…

      Labour will mess around for 6 months trying to negotiate a smaller pay rise, before giving in and giving them what they asked for at the start. Then we’ll start this whole charade again in Autumn 2025. They have the best unions in the country and they’ll milk that cow for all it can give. Doesn’t matter if they actually deserve what they’re asking for.

      Bunch of entitled fat bastards. Its ok, people on 30k < will pay for their raise

    18. fartbox-enjoyer on

      Can they strike closer to Christmas so I get some more WFH days?

      It’s the 1970s all over again…

      Can’t wait for inflation to hit 24%

    22. Kwinza on

      Well duh?

      Its been like 3 months since their last 10% pay raise.

      Thats way too long without a raise.

    23. OtteryBonkers on

      train drivers in UK are highest paid in Europe.

      If you deduct unpaid strike days… they are still the highest paid _and_ they get the longest holidays _and_ they never have to work Chrimbo/New Year’s

    24. LonelyStranger8467 on

      Tube drivers are in a unique bargaining position that allows them to extract far more from their union bargaining than their job deserves.
