RMT Union Avis 58

Paid for RMT as a bus driver for years. When needed they sent some absolute shambles of reps who was also a bus driver. So not a professional rep. Cost me my job due to the rep not knowing enough or seeing wrong information. When I wanted to take it to court they didn't want to know. What a waste of money. Don't get robbed by these fraudsters.

Yet another day of hassle for the public, caused by this useless union. How sad that the RMT union is just a pathetic front for the Marxist fool that is Mick Lynch and his pathetic cronies. These fools are there to take down the government and nothing else. Listening to Twit Lynch spouting his absolute twaddle about levelling up the wealth of our country makes me puke. Its got nothing to do with trains has it Mick? You and the RMT care nothing of milking your paying members, only for your personal Marxist agenda. Shame on your pathetic union and your brain washed members who care nothing for holding the people of this country to ransom. Your all a total embarrassment to the UK and you will never win the support of the general public. Your just not clever enough.

Worked as a bus driver for four years, was a member of the RMT. They were not in the least bit interested in anything except rail workers. The rest of us us just bolstered their back handers. Will not join a union again as they are not really interested in all their members.

Love them

Fought the bosses and won

Its a trade union and does a great job

Unlike many of the complainants on this site, I fully support the RMT and any other union that is prepared to take on bad employers. I admire the RMT because they organize and defend their members properly. Up The Workers. There is power in a union.

Holding the country to ransom… nothing but underserved greedy and selfish scums!! This union is a blot on UK economy and these a****h*** do not in anyway contribute. Even when they are not striking the service is pathetic!! Shame on you when the country is going through difficult economic situation and everyone is trying to make it work! How does one petition to derecognise RMT union.. or give some deserving and hard working people jobs

Get back to work!!! You selfish overpaid muppets!!! Even your former members slag you lot off! You should be ashamed of yourselves. I can fully understand NHS workers as they are OVERWORKED & UNDER PAID! YOU LOT ARE TAKING THE P#SS!!!

I work for London Underground and contrary to what a lot of people have stated our fight here on the tube is not about money but rather about the terms and conditions that have been fought so hard for in the past by the unions, conditions that ensure the safety of not just the staff that work on this expansive network but also the traveling public. There are conditions we don't want to change.
The RMT fights for staff numbers not to be slashed so we are there to assist and provide a first-class service to all our customers
The fight against our pensions is another thing that we don't want to be altered.
Work-life balance, and enough rest between safety-critical shifts, are the type of things for which the RMT fights.

The strikes meant that I had to sit on my backside and miss work and mess around my mother and girlfriend and I'm out of pocket by 32 quid for train journeys not made that I couldn't get a refund on.

Other people were crammed into trains to the extent that if there was an accident, there would certainly be fatalities.

This is the result of actions taken by this far left bunch of troublemakers who make more than most of us and think that they're entitled to be protected from the Russian/COVID-induced cost of living crisis at the expense of the public.

Anyone getting involved in these politically motivated strikes should be sacked - as I would be had I failed to tum up to work without good reason. Union members should not be treated differently.

My 16 year old daughter is stuck in London thanks to unplanned 'industrial action'.

I earn less than your fat salary packets. You are just using your position to make your extremely generous salaries even more generous. £60k to drive a train is way more than you deserve. I WISH I could earn so much. I employ 20 staff and am actually making something that is exported and earns Britain money, but still cannot afford a salary anywhere near the inflated packets you guys earn.

Be assured I will vote for any party that will automate your jobs and ensure that the average person is not subjected to your blackmail.

I dislike the Tories but will NOT vote for labour because of your self-indulgent strike. Lib Dems or Greens are going to get my vote.

Absolute disgrace the RMT are holding the country to ransom, destroying businesses and lives. The train drivers and guards are already overpaid and get more money than my son a junior doctor and his wife a nurse who spent years of study and built up a substantial student loan. The offer on the table is already more than nurses have been offered. I don’t know why these people think they are so special and I hope that ultimately when rail fares go up in price (which they will) and people can no afford to travel by train that they lose their jobs. Lynch is paid over £94,000 pa + expenses and he’s not lost any penny in pay over this strike. I don’t know how these people sleep at night. I’ve heard of a man that was unable to travel to his own mothers funeral. A child in Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital that can’t get to London for treatment and several businesses that have gone bust because they were reliant on Christmas trade to survive.

Only one winner and it’s not the employees, the union should be ashamed of themselves.
REMEMBER THE UNION ARE STILL GETING THEIR WAGES
An absolute disgrace to make employees to go into dept.
You won’t win, look at the history books Scargill and co

Keep up what youre doing. The many stand behind and support you

Straying of the strike subject, but you didn't have this conviction when I needed assistance in the past, it's all when it suits, your members are on fantastic wages, as was I. Ridiculous.

Please stop these strikes, you have cost me £7000 of income since you have started, I am on my knees and have to work 3 jobs to barely put food on the table and pay the debts that you have created, I am a hiking leader and relly solely on public transports.Your strikers earn twice more than the other million of people affected do, you are pushing us to bankruptcy and depressions. Please stop this, trust me, you do not have the support of the population, I worked for a union as a rep for 5 year and you are disgusting me of unions. Think about the majority of the population for Christ sake!

I support the working class people like rail workers. I know that they worked hard even during the pandemic, but this union is not doing anything good for them and for the country. Not even NHS staff or teachers strike like that. Strikes are just going to cause misery to so many innocent people who don't deserve it. We are all facing challenges like the rising cost of living so we just need work together and get through this without disrupting each other lives.

Did you think about people with disabilities in your pathetic strike? Some people can't drive due to medical conditions. You don't deserve more money. You deserve less if anything.

How can you hold customers to ransom, you earn more than NHS staff, sack all of you and get people in to work for the high money you are paid. You are all a disgrace, Unions mean nothing today, least yours, get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our entire holiday to Paris has been cancelled thanks to these arrogant, entitled brats holding our country to ransom. Will you pay us the £1500 you've cost us in hotel fees? Every single person taking part in these strikes deserves to be fired on the spot. I hope to dear God that Liz Truss and the Tories absolutely eviserate the unions. The sooner the better. The public do not support you!

No need to amplify what previous posters have made abundantly clear. I think that now is the time to completely change how the whole system works. By doing that and, having private companies run the whole network. Richard Branson has done a pretty good job with how he runs things. Public held to ransom again. Feel sorry for the drivers who are also victims in this. They are not on strike.
