Rail fares hiked by up to 13%. Energy costs up 16%. Fuel costs now £1.40 per litre. Licence fees rising. Insurance costs hiked. Airport charges.
Utility prices hiked dramatically. Grocery bills increasing. Interest rates certain to rise to combat increasing inflation. benfits reduced, taxes hiked.
The nation is fecked. And government is doing nothing to protect us. It is allowing major cartels and monopolies to stiff us big time. The government no longer represents our interests. All it seems able to come up with is to reduce the top rate of tax of 50%. That's gonna help us, how exactly?
We can't expect to beat them, we can only sit back and await the riots that are heading our way as folks' budgets are rendered impossible to maintain.
But as a trade it's now long overdue for us to stop caring about the effects and put our own situation first. we should be fighting our own corner in our own narrow self interest.
We need an immediate hike of 20% in our tariff, and we need it now.
It will result in pain for our customers and we should regret that. But to maintain our current tariff, while languishing at the bottom of the tariff league table, is no longer an option.
If we're to do any work at all, then we shouldn't be selling ourselves short.
We've already foregone an increase hoping that common sense would reign and things would improve. It hasn't and it won't.
We're worth more than we're being remunerated. It's not our job to protect a capitalism in crisis. It's every man for himself.
It's time to change.
20% increase now!!!!
I'm against a tariff increase across the board
Yes we need to look at the current Tariff, extra's etc but i'm earning a living but we have to be careful we don't price ourself's to highly, lets remain competitive
Finding a solution to bringing together the flag price and extra's is my objective
Extra's can be a nightmare when having to explain them and there is too many extra's
