Aslef boss Mick Whelan: ‘There’s no cost to the economy in running rail properly’

But Whelan also notes what he calls “the myths and legends” put out by the transport secretary, Grant Shapps – highlighting train drivers’ salaries (even when it was signallers and guards on strike) and damning so-called Spanish practices such as Sunday overtime and break-time allowances.

“Mr Shapps is talking about modernisation, which is actually degradation. Do drivers require time to walk from one end of a train to the other? Well unless someone’s invented some sort of Star Trek technology, yes we do.”

Walking time is factored in at stations such as St Pancras by train operators who do not know on which platform a train will arrive, he says: “If they knew, we’d adjust the walking times accordingly.”

This interview is a good read in my opinion, and help to understand the trade unions point of view. 

I wish I could put my own view point on this, I do not think Driver are overpaid, or any railway staff, in many ways they are underpaid for what they do, trying to cover up a system that has many faults more than I can be understandable , working overtime should be a two way reward, changing hours or roster, doing extras, or anything else I can think of.

Us Humans work to live our lives, we do not live to work and give up our own rights?

In some ways I do not make any sense, in other I do try.
