@JuliaHB1@RMTLondon but you would if you thought it would work, wouldn't you? -
@robertshrimsley@RMTLondon Ha! No it wd be immoral for me to threaten other people's ability to get to work (& be paid) for me to earn more -
You say jobs pay more that nobody else wants. If that's so, why has RMT had to fight for tube cleaners to get a living wage?
@JuliaHB1 -
@RMTLondon oh dear, can you not hold two ideas in your head at once? Jobs pay more if limited talent to do it OR no one wants to do it... -
so why does a cleaners job pay so little?
@JuliaHB1 -
@RMTLondon because it is unskilled labour and anyone able-bodied can do it. Next. -
But you said that jobs that nobody wants pay more. So why doesn't cleaning pay more?

@JuliaHB1@RMTLondon RMT, Why not ask the 1000's and 1000's of people who have to work nights (& with no £200 bonus) how much they earn? -
@JanKelly_
@RMTLondon exactly. -
I imagine many earn a low wage and have a horrible boss. Join a union and fight back. Race to the top, not the bottom.

@JuliaHB1@RMTLondon Funny how middle class journos so forthright when lecturing working class ppl about pay but become coy about their own -
@neilcaff I'm not coy at all. My income is completely irrelevant in this argument as I'm not striking in an attempt to get paid more. -
-
@LeftistLunatic@neilcaff are you sure about that? -
-
@JuliaHB1@neilcaff these two paragraphs show quite clearly that you do not understand the demands.pic.twitter.com/GTsbzC1NDC

@LeftistLunatic no, they show that I was briefly outlining the dispute not detailing it in ten paragraphs. -
@JuliaHB1 but you misrepresented the facts, deliberately or otherwise, and attempted to present it as an issue about wages & pay rises - 7 more replies
