No in that respect it shouldn’t happen, I’m Gateline trained, ramp trained, 4.5 years Rail work experience but you’re correct untrained staff cannot just be brought in out of desperation.Invite those temporary skilled workers to the union.
I don't trust that the temporary people will be fully trained before being set free, out of desperation.
They can and they will.No in that respect it shouldn’t happen, I’m Gateline trained, ramp trained, 4.5 years Rail work experience but you’re correct untrained staff cannot just be brought in out of desperation.
But seems plan is to bring in agency workers so more managers can be allocated to tasks that are harder, not things like train dispatchNo in that respect it shouldn’t happen, I’m Gateline trained, ramp trained, 4.5 years Rail work experience but you’re correct untrained staff cannot just be brought in out of desperation.
Removing these regulations will give employers more flexibility but businesses will still need to comply with broader health and safety rules that keep both employees and the public safe. It would be their responsibility to hire cover workers with the necessary skills and/or qualifications to meet those obligations.
It would also help mitigate against the impact of future strikes, such as those seen on our railways this week, by allowing trained, temporary workers to carry out crucial roles to keep trains moving. For instance, skilled temporary workers would be able to fill vacant positions such as train dispatchers, who perform vital tasks such as giving train drivers the signal they are safe to proceed and making sure train doors aren’t obstructed.
Repealing these 1970s-era restrictions will give businesses freedom to access fully skilled staff at speed, all while allowing people to get on with their lives uninterrupted to help keep the economy ticking.
Well then it look like I don't support working class people. OK boys, time to take me to the gallows for not supporting the working class.If you’re not backing the RMT in this strike you’re basically saying that working class people should accept less pay and ultimately less share of wealth, whilst doing nothing to try and prevent it. It’s that simple.

Which I addressed - and I notice a rather uncharitable assumption about workloads. When things go wrong somewhere, the answer is not always to throw labour at it and make that the sole priority.Should they have their feet up with the wheels coming off down the road?
Simple question.
To be honest, I'm not the one making the ridiculous claim that not supporting the rmt means you don't support the working class.What a comedian

And now the RMT has induced the current Government to repeal 1970s union legislation that even the Thatcher Government didn’t dare touch, that is a union own goal (which TUC ought to be furious about the RMT causing)

It was also part of a pre-agreed multi-year deal; it just so happened inflation was as high as it was (is). Not sure what the Jubilee comment is all about.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to when the next batch of strike dates will be announced?
Even if it doesn't. I wouldn't worry at all about these threats. They are completely baseless.Does the ORR have the ability to make sure that any agency staff are trained to the same level of competence?
You think this isn't capitalism, workers striving for the pay increases that they deserve?It has been said that somewhere in the RMT set of beliefs that the bringing-down of capitalism is one of those. Therefore the RMT should not be surprised that capitalism will not just collapse without first fighting back.
Did I say it wasn't?You think this isn't capitalism, workers striving for the pay increases that they deserve?
As its pro-rata I don’t think their members will complain about the increased commission payment.
Well, the rights and wrongs of it is academic. We have NR and government saying maintenance is unproductive and therefore needs to be cut. You're making them unproductive! It's all lies from top to bottom. Our senior management are a disgrace.
Did you mean to quote me on this? lolBut isn't this exactly what led to the Hatfield train crash & the collapse of Railtrack? ( And Potter's Bar ?)
Only if all other state benefits (and the state pension is the same as a benefit) and government spending in general are also Ponzi schemes. It's not a Ponzi scheme because there is no pension "pot".If it was anyone else they would call that a Ponzi scheme.

Back on ‘pensioner bashing’ again.I see that Sunak is in the FT attempting to defend giving a more than a 10% pay rise to pensioners while expecting those that are actually working, to carry on doing so for ... 2%? I don't think so. Pay us the same!
SorryDid you mean to quote me on this? lol
