"I saw a report on the RMT's demands the other night which also showed what tube drivers get paid. It's already more than my psychologist girlfriend gets paid, more than I get paid as a fundraiser for a national charity"
It is an outrage that working-class people have the ability to earn more than the middle classes!! after all you've got your expectations to think about and student loan to pay off....just who do they think they are??!?!
No disrespect, but I'm sure tube drivers go through some pretty hefty training and it's a stressful job, they have the safety of hundreds of pasengers in their hands after all, I personally would be disappointed if I discovered they got paid less than, say, an airline pilot, which is similar in terms of responsibility.....although if anything the tube drivers serve community, the public, industry and commerce more, so maybe their value is greater.
