Nah, he refused to answer a direct question earlier then did the classic deflection and accuse the interviewer of being a right wing sympathiser.
Guy is a piece of work.

I take it you haven't heard the National Rail chief exec speaking. I was fairly neutral on the issue until I heard him interviewed on the radio this afternoon. He sounded like a comedy caricature of a political hatchet man. They all deserve each other (the leaders of the 2 sides that is, not the staff).

All employers pay nin for employees and pensions as quoted in the rag
Fact is he was on 120k , not including the add ons now he's on 84k not including add ons
Many our leaders could follow suit?

As did the minister when asked whether he had blocked an offer the employers were to make (that’s just a factual observation and is apolitical in respect of the merits or otherwise of whether he blocked it or not). And that’s a much more important question than how much the strikes are costing individual members of the RMT - one question the BBC was putting to Lynch…

So he’s on more than 84k?

Tell his mortgage provider that? When you apply for a mortgage what do they ask, your base salary or your complete cost of employment to your company?
Same with the taxman . He won't be doing self assessment form

If his salary agreement is £120k then that is pretty consistent with the average salary of a director of a UK corporate.
I’ll add that at £84k…

how many of those can hold the country to ransom?

What’s that got to do with how much he’s paid. And he’s not holding the country to ransom. He is engaged in an industrial dispute with a continuing significant mandate provided by his members.

Think your are laying the Blame in entirely the wrong place
Nurses
Firefighters
Ambulance drivers
Rail workers
To name but a few taking part in action or voting on
Only one single collective of people are holding the pay talks back, why are they not holding the country to ransom?
The nurses have said they will suspend strikes if ministers agree to talk to them , they refuse
I don't see the rmt as the complete issue . They are doing what they need to do for their members, protect rights and protect jobs
Otherwise what's the point of a union?
Without unions we wouldn't have
Sickpay
Weekends
Mat pay
Paternity pay
Mat leave
They can't be all bad
This is getting political thread suspended.
