See, I look at that and question, not are train drivers being paid too much, but are bus drivers and pilots being paid too little?

As @Sandy_123 says, the police (the police cannot legally strike!), carers, nurses, doctors, they earn so much less, but is that the train drivers fault? I think we should be asking why these aren't earning as much, and why they are earning so much less, than asking why train drivers earn as much as they do, and suggest they earn less.

I'd rather make all the other jobs better off, than drag one job down.

edit: Might be a good topic for a separate discussion? 😋 don't want to take up too much space about a specific topic here!

In fairness in the police if the danger gets the better of you you get your pension maxxed out to 35 years, even if you have only done like 2 years, and should be financially OK for the rest of your life

I do know what you mean about danger though!! My brother is a tree surgeon, he gets like £15 an hour for climbing up a tree with a chainsaw and stuff but if he gets injured he gets statutory sick pay which is like £17 a day

Yes would be a good thread if anyone wants to start it lol

If anyone else fancies adding I made a discussion here:

😊 I think it's an interesting discussion, because there are quite a few different ways you can approach it, and it touches on about what do we actually 'value'?

Sandy_123

Hi everyone I hope yous are all doing good. I’m not that long home I had a nice time down at the charity match met up with my sons future in laws and my grandkids were there to.It’s a small gym and they raised just under £1000 so did great.

@jean79
That’s really great you get on so well with your cleaner and lovely she made your lunch,

@Sandy_123
That’s a shame you missed your bus glad you home now and resting. That’s great you’ve signed up to get your prescriptions delivered. I’ve been getting mine delivered from a quite small pharmacy and they’re really great.
