Ah yes... the strategy of charlatans everywhere! Make a claim
with no supporting evidence, then say it's up to others to prove
them wrong!
Particularly repugnant when companies do it as a way of
weaseling out of warranty claims and the like!

Did that make you feel superior? Did you feel smug and play
with yourself while correcting a word?

The supporting evidence is widely reported. Lynch has reconciled
it and carried by the news broadcasters as well as RMT"s site.
None of it been denied by the employers. But if you bothered to
research that, instead of trying to call me a lier, then you
will see for yourself.
Why are you on the side of big companies over the average
worker?

1. Because all of these "average workers" screaming for double
digit payrises have no demonstrable increase in productivity
with which to justify them, which is going to increase the cost
of the goods or services their employers sell, resulting in
increased costs to me (and also, ironically, to all those
demanding big payrises) for no additional benefit.
2. Because any of those employers in direct competition with
overseas companies are going to be made less competitive,
meaning a higher probability of job losses, meaning more of my
taxes going on unemployment benefits.
3. Because in the case of NHS workers, they represent over 5%
of the total working population, so giving them the double digit
payrises they're asking for would have a massive impact on all
of us, and I'm thoroughly hacked off with the way they all bang
on about how they all saved the country during Covid, when for
every massively overworked intensive care nurse there were
multiple others sat around twiddling their thumbs because non
urgent care was cancelled, and the money would surely be better
spent getting that care back on track.
4. Because like many "average workers", I'd really like to
retire one day, and when the strikers bang on about the rail
companies, oil companies and others making big profits, I view
that as news to be celebrated! Those big corporations aren't
owned by Monty Burns characters rubbing their hands in glee
whilst they release the hounds on the workers, they're owned
mostly by those self same pension funds whose success will allow
us better standards of living in retirement.
I could probably come up with more if you like?

Yes it does actually. You have zero credibility.

Well this is annoying, not only does this stop the traditional
dads and lads day out but I’m also away on 4 March so will miss
it anyway and have to give up my ST spot for the game.
I will be watching rugby that day but in Cape town Stormer v
Sharks. I’ll still be in my Quins shirt though. 😜

Every one of this has a counter argument. And as much as I would
like to do that. This is probably better in a seperate off topic
thread in the non rugby bit of the forum or in the pub.
However in terms of ownership, wages, NHS there is so much we
are opposites on and thoa forum would not be best served by us
dueling it out.
So I will not engage in this and wish you good day and that you
are able to get to the Stoop OK tomorrow and next week as well
as wishing you and yours a good Christmas.

Hey folks ! Please stop the slanging matches. The train strikes
are what they are. Yes - it is disappointing that BG14 has had
to be re-routed, but, I am glad a solution has been found (even
though not ideal). Credit goes to those who have worked &
co-operated behind the scenes in finding this way out of such a
predicament.

A fair point, so I've moved it to a new thread in the O/T part
so you can respond without us continuing to derail this thread.
