The voice of reason
|
Far from it. The RMT and its leader Mick Lynch are acting out of self-interest
alone, leveraging their vital position to hold the country to ransom. Some of the lowest-paid workers in Britain will suffer the most. The middle classes may be able and happy to retreat once again to their desks at home, but teachers need to see their pupils in person, doctors and nurses to treat patients face to face. Cooks cannot whip up virtual meals for hungry customers. Binmen cannot collect rubbish while working from home. These are the victims of unionised workers who, with a median wage of £44,000, earn considerably more than them. Indeed, a third of rail staff are higher-rate taxpayers making more than £50,000 a year. Now they want more than 10 per cent extra. Marooned care workers on an average of £17,000 may find it hard to sympathise. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/...n-union-chaos/ |
