Translink/Metro Strike 30th November

How about you answer some of my opinions in my post? Oh that's right, you have blatantly disregarded them. Is it because this stereotype is true to yourself?
Btw, there was a report on private vs public sector job salary and it didn't find public sector workers to be on less salary. The admin type jobs you refer to are paid similar to private sector admin. I do agree the banks/bankers have alot to answer for but if there is no money (which there isn't) the deficit needs made up somehow.
I never said the private sector would 'benefit'. I am implying that private sector workers would feel less resentful - in fact everyone except union members would feel less resentful to public workers who are striking. But those in a union are being guided, blindly, by the puppet masters - the unions. Whoever heard of such lunacy as to pay Translink Unite union members £30 to strike and cause maximum disruption.
It's not a race to the bottom, it's more like getting public sector workers living in the real world again. As I said before, if you don't like the new terms of your employment then leave, plenty of unemployed will take up the position agreeing to the new terms.
I do disregard what YOU say, yes. Simply because it amounts to nothing. You don't refer to any facts to quantify anything you say... and your suggestions for anyone who has an opposing position are foolish to say the least.
Quite frankly, I think you are a mouth piece for right wing propaganda and you probably don't even have the wit to realise it.
Hope it gets you far, but I doubt it will.....
btw, if you could actually READ some of my previous posts the answers you seek would be revealed.0 -
I just noticed your weak reply.. and you think I'm a fool *chuckles*

As someone else pointed out on this thread - we don't have enough services/goods etc to bargain with and there are too many people in the public sector in NI.0
