Just seems to go along with some plonker of an Economics Spokesman (or
something like that) from the TUC who was coming out with all sorts of crap
why their members should get above inflation pay rises "because this
inflation isn't caused by wage increases." Obviously he wants it to be so.

What makes me sick is that for some reason I've never fathomed is that
public sector workers seem to assume that a yearly pay rise is a right
as opposed to being discretionary by the employer. They really need to
rejoin the real world at some point.

Is this relevant? I thought the dispute was about Tubelines being
paid less than Metronet.

If it is then so what? Plenty of other people do the same job as me
around london. Do I get paid exactly the same as them? Probably not.
In fact I'd be surprised if the salaries didn't vary inside my company
for the same job - thats the way it works in the private sector. LIke
I said, they need to rejoin the real world.

That's a separate argument. I'm just helping to focus the rant on the
actual dispute, which was not about whether or not there should be
annual pay rises.

Not just the public sector, it seems. There's a plonker from Swissport
trying to justify why striking at the airports on the bank holiday weekend
is a good idea. And so many cliches in so few sentences I haven't heard in a
long time. What a dickhead.
