      I mean, step back and really ask yourself what modernisation means in the context of working hours for rail workers. It’s not as though the invention of the smart phone and electric cars suddenly added hours to the day.

    Let's be clear: Strike action does not CAUSE disruption. The strikers are the people who CREATE convenience and AVOID disruption. The disruption is an inevitable consequence of workers withdrawing the labour that would otherwise prevent disruption... and the reason workers are withdrawing their labour (unsatisfactory pay and conditions) is what is causing disruption.
    Look, if I were a gardener and someone offered me a fiver to come and clear all the weeds in their garden and shift all the rubbish that has accumulated, I would certainly turn their offer down. That would not make me the cause of the mess in their garden.

      @@alanpatterson2384 No. The intention of a strike is to ALLOW the disruption that results when workers withdraw their labour. Every day that workers put into their jobs, they are keeping the infrastructure going and providing us with the advantages we benefit from it. Failing to provide workers with reasonable pay and conditions is what CAUSES disruption. Striking simply emphasises the importance of the work they do. They just want their pay & conditions to reflect the value of their work. If it doesn't, they don't work. Simple as that.
      There is a huge difference between CAUSING a problem and choosing not to solve it. The problem exists because rail companies are refusing to negotiate. The solution is simple: negotiate an acceptable deal.

Unions are a tool to fight back against the inherit exploitative nature of thatcher ideology. When you are at war with greed and exploitation , the strike is the applicable weapon.

      @Hugh Shepherd you couldn't be more wrong. ML explained what was going on. Maybe you should have listened. RMT have been fighting for 2 years to get a decent deal for their members. All they've been offered is voluntary redundancies and a real terms pay cut. No one in their right mind would accept that including you. The "progress" you and Shapps speak of is the stripping back of the railways as much as possible to increase shareholder profits. Its the opposite of progress for the staff and the people who want to use the service. Nobody wants the state to "do all", they just want decent working conditions. Did you ever think that some people actually enjoy their jobs and don't want to "restructure their lives"? Nobody should be forced out of their job just because the company they work for is too busy trying to squeeze every last penny at the expense of everyone else. "This country runs on merit" No, this country, as well as every other country, runs on the labour of the working class. Without it we would grind to a halt.

    Mick is a legend! Just regarding strike action, I wonder if there's an alternative. In Sydney just over 20 years ago, rail workers took industrial action regarding attacks on their pensions and workers compensation rights (from my memory at the time). Instead of cancelling services, everyone went to work as normal but the stations left all the ticket gates open. So the travelling public had some days of free travel and lapped it up! Surprise, surprise the rail operator lost 100% revenue for those periods while the public was fully supportive of the rail workers. I ended up having a great old time, even travelling out of the Sydney area for a bit of a jolly by the beach - all for free! In the end, the state government had to step into line and all was resolved. Would this be possible here, or could this cause a legal headache?

      @@davecollins9075 This is how the Irish police got some concessions on their working conditions and the right to form a union. The police phoned in sick. It was known as "blue flu". The irish Army was also being treated like dirt by the government. They organised through their spouses and relatives for better conditions since the army staff themselves did not have the right to form a union or go on strike.

    Yes public transport is a very lucrative arena. Just like rubbish collection and energy and water. Privatising these elements invariably result in an increase of costs and decrease in service. The principle behind Taxation is to justified by the idea of supplementing these services. What I don't understand is that Taxation increases while public services are reduced. However when I see the participants involved it becomes clear that they haven't a clue. Too many trust fund kids being put into positions that are clearly beyond them.

It isn't normal and striking is the last resort when all other talks have failed. Maybe look at the reasons why it isn't normal and why it's happening. It's because the government has failed the Railway and is failing workers.

      This is why it is vital for working people to save like mad and build up a fighting fund to support themselves for a long strike. In the present arrangement high levels of personal debt, high mortgages and lack of protections against insolvencies and foreclosures mean that working class people cannot take on the employers in a fair fight for a fair deal. Thye lack the financial clout to do so on their own.
      You see this plainly in jobs in health, aviation, maritime and a lot of the transport sector. It has been the norm for decades in manufacturing, warehousing and logistics and retail.
