The Unions will make the rest of world comply.

I am a very long way from Thatcherite, I do love how it's still used as an attempt at an insult though.

If you'd care to explain how trade unions can improve the life of cleaners by ensuring their job isn't a dead end one that'd be quite interesting to see. Personally it still sounds like you're in cloud cuckoo land writing about trade unions saving the world and leaving us all to a socialist nirvana where everyone is paid mega wages without having to pay more for everything, pays their 75% tax and gets their backsides wiped for them by a highly paid government employee on a large salary with a guaranteed final salary pension.

I do think that UK has the political and economic clout, but we have no choice!

They can cut the mangers salary and even demand morr favourable terms with specsavers!

I called you a Thatcherite because you defend the failed ecomnoic system the she helped set up along with the fact you are not really keen on unions!

You realy are talking out your hat now

Re: Mind The Pay Gap? Tube Drivers 'To Get £55k'
 

Really - you think that a country with 65 million people, and that contributes 3.5% of the world's GDP, can do this - I think you may have to up your medication....
You really are hypocritical - the Specsavers shop managers probably earn half to two-thirds of the salary of Tube train drivers, but you are willing to see their wages cut; one rule/philosophy for one set of people, another for those you support.:dozey:

Re: Mind The Pay Gap? Tube Drivers 'To Get £55k'
 

The life of cleaners can be improved by better wages and better conditions, which can be achived with unions, as shown in the victorian era and even now!

The so called "cloud cuckoo land" idea is acutally not a bad one,It's better than the one we have right now, I am not called for a socialist nirvana, just a better society!

Sorry I will corrent that, what they should do is demand better terms from Spacesavers to pay for better pay and conditions!

Re: Mind The Pay Gap? Tube Drivers 'To Get £55k'
 

That's one hell of a "correction" - looks more like something completely different to me......:dozey:

As Maggy has stated, this has entered Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck territory....

Obviously not, by your inane and nonsensical proposals in your posts.

You specifically mentioned 'dead end' jobs, just to remind you of the context:

This is Sparta!

Seriously, you appear to be a self-appointed class warrior, it's noted that you are evidently doing fairly well out of the capitalism you so despise, for all its flaws maybe it isn't so completely broken?

I don't regard myself as being of any class, I refer to myself as 'middle class' as a joke. In times of old I would be considered working class as I'm the modern version of an engineer. I was raised by a bar maid and cleaner and a truck driver. Your words and politics are divisive, your comments incoherent, your posts seem to be cut and pastes from Socialist Worker as you stubbornly refuse to accept the more moderate views offered.
