With British Airways and British Gas proposing to fire and rehire many of their employees on inferior contracts, what is the general opinion on whether this could become widespread and reach the railways?
If as seems likely, the government will have almost complete control of railway franchises or whatever their new guise, and the Exchequer funding the railways, will they try to push some nuclear buttons or just want some peace and quiet and leave the staffing side of the railways, especially drivers and guards, untouched?
If you were offered a fire and rehire with inferior t & c, inferior salary (e.g. a 30% salary cut) and pension changes would you accept it or walk away?
