@jackisgeeky @ItsOnlyBantz Imagine if everyone had a powerful union that spoke up for them, gave them better working conditions, and pay rises in line with inflation. If you don't support unions, you don't support workers.
English

@ItsOnlyBantz Exactly, it’s not that TfL drivers earn too much it’s that everyone on less than that in London has been completely screwed on their salaries. But this country is all about the politics of envy.
English

The 4 day week is compressed hours which is the main issue. Shifts can start as early at 3:45am. Even at £70k in London it’s not a liveable salary in zones 1-4. The bigger issue is how we’ve been conditioned to be against them when it’s proof unions WORK.

TFL employees: •40+ days of leave a year •70-100k+ salary •free travel •4 day work week And they’re still striking? 💀

@ItsOnlyBantz 70k is definitely doable in London and that kind of rhetoric doesn't help anyone. Most working class are on much, much less.

@JonathanLigmas @JonathanNS1685 @London_W4 @TfL Why should the working class engage in a race to the bottom?
English

@JonathanNS1685 @London_W4 @TfL Only the Picadilly and Bakerloo aren't automated today. The rest of the lines the "driver" just opens and closes the doors, and pushes a button to initiate departure. They are still needed to drive manually if something goes wrong however (this is also true of the DLR)
English

Mornin’. As the tube drivers are striking again today, as they do pretty much weekly since the dawn of time, I thought @tfl might like to know that the DLR doesn’t have drivers. It’s been running for about forty years and is safe and reliable. Tube trains are the same as DLR trains, so it might help @tfl in their negotiations with the tube drivers to tell them they’re all sacked and a computer is now going to drive the trains. Right, that’s that sorted. Later on I shall sort out the problems with the Strait of Hormuz. But first; coffee.

@mattletiss7 @grok Obviously lying to you.
Evidence is there above our heads.
Had some terrible storms in Spain.
It seems they're not spraying UK atm, with stuff you never agreed to, over the next week, so hope you enjoy the natural benefits of the sun.
Mad Ed Milliband blocking it out. Crazy.

@_IngredientX @sophielouisecc The thing is, she's working class. She's a class traitor.
English

@sophielouisecc Right-wingers want working-class people to be atomised and angry. They hate us when we're unionised and strong.
English

@We_Are_Satoshi @sophielouisecc @Adam_Moody4 When you trust an LLM for this kind of info you lose all credibility. You and your hallucinating friend.
English

@sophielouisecc @Adam_Moody4 What does an underground driver get? £80k? Sounds difficult... 👀

English

@sophielouisecc So you constantly complain about unemployed people, then you want to make more people unemployed. Do you actually have a brain? Are you pretending to be a complete moron or does it just come naturally to you?
English

@ShomBall @Jubbaman64 @EdwardOakenfull @sophielouisecc The taxpayers will lose their jobs to automation and not be able to pay any tax.
English

@Jubbaman64 @EdwardOakenfull @sophielouisecc They are expensive, unproductive, irrelevant and redundant. No benefit to taxpayers.
Unlike automation.
English

@Jubbaman64 @EdwardOakenfull @sophielouisecc These right wing grifters really struggle to see past their own noses.
English

@EdwardOakenfull @sophielouisecc So get rid of more workers and then you’ll complain about them being unemployed and claiming benefits. Keep the descriptions of self serving and greedy for politicians, not ordinary working people
English

@sophielouisecc Careful, the bots are coming for journalism too. Be careful what you wish for.
English

@MathsHomeWorker @sophielouisecc You make a good point. Sophie's job is ripe for automation. An LLM could replicate the nonsense that Sophie churns out, and wouldn't need a break. Maybe then she'll realise automation isn't all its cracked up to be.
English

@sophielouisecc The day we full automate journalism will be a great day.
Then we won’t get untalented grifters like you polluting our news feeds.
English

@sophielouisecc Yeah let's replace the workforce with automation. Why stop there? Let's just automate every job and no-one will be able to buy anything. Great idea 👍
English

@Ravenismeee Yes, but when it got dark they would panic and send out the search party.
English

@sophielouisecc We need more unions. This is what a unionised workforce looks like. And they get what they deserve. The unions losing their power has been terrible for the working class.
You are a class traitor.
English

@_Jabir_ Cos they aren’t pussies and use there rights to maintain their benefits unlike 99% of other employees who are scared of ask for the bare mininum, TfL is the only company that is comparable with real living wage and kept up with the American salary, the uk is brain dead.
