Why do not the “ workers” get the same as the leader . Who are workers anyway. Management not workers then Workers.One of the most insulting misused words in our vocabulary |  |

Where to even begin with this.... Oh my. 1.UK subsidise the rail companies who are almost all state owned by foreign countries, the money we continually chuck at them is used to subsidise their own rail travel. 2. The median salary of striking workers is £31k - £33k, not £43k which is the median salary for the entire rail sector. 3. Why should people who havent had real wage rises in years accept that? It is not greedy to demand better working conditions and pay. 4. Maybe much like the energy sector, these poor poor rail companies should be taken back under public control. |  |

Does he have 12 times more responsibility than the average worker? A hod carrier works considerably harder than a brain surgeon, but the surgeon would earn a much higher salary and rightly so. [Post edited 19 Aug 2022 17:17]

No he doesn't. The board of directors take the decisions. Of course they should earn more, but not those obscene amounts |  | |  |

The argument is for those at the bottom to be paid more, people shouldnt need to be going to blinking food banks and not being able to afford basic necessities. If the company can afford to pay the top brass exorbitant salaries and bonuses then maybe they can afford to pay those at the bottom more too. |  |

Togg makes the point on footballers salaries who work far less hours than a CEO who,like it or not,has massive responsibility for the company, his employers l Footballers are in La La land in comparison. Training for a couple of hours and every afternoon free to squander more money that their fans will ever see . It is indefensible |  |

This goes on in all industries whether right or wrong. I would imagine there are MD's on a lot more money than this guy. Not condoning it but it's the going rate. As it happens my wife is on minimum wage doing a very important job, however I'm lucky that I'm self employed and earn a decent living. |  | |  |

Yes, it goes on in all industries. The gap.between rich and poor has never been greater, it's called trickle up |  | |  |
| Network rail boss on 20:00 - Aug 19 with 2529 views | builthjack | % pay rises,should be banned. It should be averaged out and everyone given the same. With a % wage, the gap gets wider every year between the low paid and the high paid. |  |

Agree totally, it's painful isn't it. Mick Lynch's salary is £84,000 whilst Eddie Dempsey's is £78,000 which are both quite reasonable considering the responsibility they carry. These have been decided democratically by the union members. Also they can be voted out at any time where they will return to their more modestly paid jobs hence the ludricousness of the argument of Eddie Dempsey living in a council flat. I know we live in a society which thrives on division but I'll never cease to be amazed at how working people can be so anti other working class folk who are just after a decent standard of living whilst giving those at the top a free ride. |  |

A brilliant post. Lets get after the Johnsons and the Moggs. They are the modern day enemy of the working class. Mick Lynch said that dividends to shareholders are really unpaid wages. He is right. |  |

Punching down is easy, its quite sad but i suppose they do it to make themselves feel better about how rubbish things are. The disdain amongst many for lower paid workers, the unemployed or homeless is sickening. |  |

How may Union bosses have been "got rid of" because of their excessive wages ? it should never be a race to the bottom but can anyone justify why in 2020 the average total remuneration of the 30 union bosses on more than £100,000 was £150,755 ( not including expenses) . All roles have responsibilities , if i was to get something wrong I could kill or seriously injure a colleague but my remuneration bears no resemblance to some figures we see bandied about and I'm sure that could be said by most on here |  |
