That was caused by underinvestment, high energy prices and the decline of Britain's power!!!

People such as yourself really wind me up, you have no clue.

So why some companies are giving out large dividends then, also the government should be investing into the economy!

And look at how high the wages are compared to the skill set required to do the job and the disruption caused by the unions in gaining such high wages

The Unions did not kill those industries, underinvestment, bad management and bad products did, along with rising competition and the decline of Britain’s power!!
The Reason there is disruption on the tube is that the GLA would rather have a fight with the unions rather than co-operate with them!!

Re: Pay frozen for third year running
I haven't had a pay rise in 4 years this year will be 5 last Christmas we didn't get a Christmas bonus we lost our overtime we had to exept 10% pay cut
Last week I was told work extra hours longer but didn't get paid their was a report by the trade unions few weeks ago. 1milion hours of over time are worked in the uk without pay
The owner has just comeback from a sking holiday and company director just came back from Italy nice holiday
These days the worker has no rights at all
It's either you exept the cuts or you loose your job plain and simple

So are you saying we should capitulate every time the union demands something ?
