The rail workers have my full support in this dispute enough is enough with these greedy bosses .
Totally agree
💯%
He makes me sick 😷 the Welsh Git he needs to do some real work.It’s so easy for him.I’am all for the worker’s.GodHelp us.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😡😡😡😡
It's not just the rail workers it's the comuters who've had to pay year on inflation busting price hikes which has been a licence to print money .
@@chrisholland7367 That's why we need to be united against these foreign greedy tax avoiding billionaire owend railway bosses 👍
Gave himself a 6.5% rise in April
I want his share of the pain.
Oh the pain of only £600,000 per year, my heart bleeds for him.
I support klaus shwwab and the great reset
I remember him when he was in charge of south West trains,now known as South Western railway,under him they were the lowest payingTOC,with exception of train drivers,he never cared about staff then ,and he obviously has,nt changed.
It's utterly disgusting.
It’s 100% about what he gets paid. What is he doing for £600k that anyone else in network rail isn’t? It’s very easy for him to say that “these deals are good”, as he’ll still have more money than anyone deserves. The world is mental. We’re all Just doing jobs and working hard. The pay divide is disgusting.
It cannot continue, its obviously reaching breaking point right now.
Why not ask about the profits. ?
The best part was when all this started and he sent an email saying he understands how hard it is in this cost of living crises! Then one of the other higher ups said we should have done better at school! This lot are taking the piss out of us and are living on another planet ! None of that hits the news though does it 😡🤡
What happened to comparing people on public money to what the PM earns? This guy is way above that.
Not his fault of people do not get proper education or training or hard work to get to top positions.
People now understand that any pay "increase" below inflation is in fact, a pay cut.
A 100% Solidarity to the rail workers ✊️
Bollocks to them. I work in the private sector. Not had a pay rise in 5 years. Rail workers get paid a fortune, go sick on full pay whenever they want. I know two rail workers. They have it easy.
@@acptelford1307 Learn from the RMT rather than drag them down! Don't let bosses push everyone down to the lowest rung
@@markwelch3564 Not a clue about the RMT. Just saying what I know from people I drink with that have worked on the railway’s for many many years.
It's not a race to the bottom mate. It sounds like jealousy to me.

£600,000, that’s totally greedy I now know why train tickets are so expensive in the UK.
and he's just the tip of the shiteburg. there will be loads of NR staff on six figures.
Network Rail doesn't have anything to do with the cost of train tickets. That's a decision that TOCs make (e.g Northern, Virgin etc. ).
@@liamward9969 only some ticket prices are set by the tocs, almost half are set by the government. Soon to be entirely set by the government under the new Great British Railways scheme.
600k a year lol. Roughly 26k a month he takes home. Some of his staff don't earn that per annum and he thinks its a good deal. Wow
Yeah let’s get angry at those trying to get us all a fairer rate of pay.
@@russelledwards001 he's not trying to do anything, if it wasn't for this strike action, they wouldn't even be getting what they're getting (which is in real terms a pay reduction anyway), so don't make it out like he's doing it out of the goodness of his heart.
@gjaegreag No
@gjaegreag I think we’ve reached a warped view of society where people can defend an almost x20 pay difference. I can almost 100% say that this man does not work x20 harder than the working class who are actually manning the trains and keeping the business afloat
@gjaegreag he doesnt have to deal with drunk twats every weekend night on the trains, so i doubt his job is much harder, he is in no physical danger
8% over 2 years, aka 4% this year 4% next year, current inflation projected for 9-10%, so in real terms that is a 13% pay cut over 2 years.
Bear in mind this started last year, so technically its 8% over 3 years.
Real inflation is much higher!
RPI is 11.8%
Everyone has taken a real terms pay cut this year. Interest rates need to rise much quicker to bring inflation down.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 no, most people have had real terms pay cuts since 2010. Wages have been stagnant for over a decade while prices have continued to increase.
I'm not getting any pay rise due to inflation and I am sure many people here are the same. These workers only get what they get because they are able to hold the country to ransom. Not all of us have that power. They are very well paid to start with. They just need more money so they can keep buying the latest i-phones. We should be giving any extra cash to those who are now struggling to buy food and keep warm.
@£600k/yr, his monthly take home after tax is £26k which is more than some of his staff earn a year before tax. Let that sink in 🤦♂️
His staff are neither qualified or capable of managing a multi billion pound business employing thousands of people.
The responsibility is huge and its a 24/7 job.
This is exactly the problem, this man is taking £600,000. There is no way he should be having that kind of money - it is obscene. Good luck to Mick Lynch and the unions to get a proper increase to the worker's salaries. 8% over 2 years when the current rate of inflation is 11% is insulting. It should be 11% this year minimum with a review every year.
Not including his bonuses and share dividends
Cwu royal mail enforced 2% pay rise
It is about your pay fella. It shows how broke the system is. I guarantee nobody can say what actual work this guy does!
They dont let him in the signal box & He's not aloud on the track.
Famous last words, Trains dont come round here on Sundays,
I checked the rule book.
His salary isn't in the least excessive for the huge responsibility his job entails.
It's 24/7 and a job few people are either capable or qualified to do.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 Pull seniority, Has he ever presided over an amendment
to the rule book? No then shut up, I wonna talk with someone who knows wot he's doing, Lol
@@jjefferyworboys8138 I'm all right Jack.
How can someone work for a company and get paid £600,000 a year disgraceful
To be the head of a multi billion company which employs thousands of people, that seems like a very modest salary.
Few people are either qualified or capable of such responsibility. Its a 24/7 job.
Well, footballers get that in a week.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 most executives aren’t capable or qualified of doing the work within their organisation…sorry that’s just the reality most of the masses recognise.
All but a small minority of exceptional buisness leaders are little more than highly paid corporate spokesman, the real technical details are sorted by those beneath them such as senior/middle/lower management and skilled workers.

@@jjefferyworboys8138 dont forget its effectively owned by the government. so your taxes line this mans pocket while he demands a real term cut for his employees. if this were france there would have been riots weeks ago
He earns over a million a year in pay and bonuses, he said voluntary temporary pay cut, temporary been the key word in that sentence.
And I'd bet its deferred rather than a cut
He took a 6.5% paycut for four months during the pandemic even though it lasted nearly two years and now has had it reinstated. It amounted to £36,000 . He's completely clueless about the situation.
I fully support the RMT in the dispute how much do these foreign railway bosses want people just want a decent wage to survive.and its no thanks to this criminal useless Government as Well .
Mick Lynch and most of his members voted bojo, they wanted brexit.
£600,000 a year!....Its a hard life 🎻
Fat cat 🐈
Well done r.mt it's about time the working class people get better wages fed up of the greedy people in this country corporate Britain ripping people off its a disgrace
Mick Lynch and members voted bojo, they wanted brexit
If the pay rise isn’t in line with inflation it is a real terms PAY CUT.
He should take a pay cut
Easy- cut this exec's pay in half and distribute it to the workers. And the rest of the board. The strikes happened on their watch
That’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard of. Well done.
Everyone would get £7. Well done 👏🏻
@@allenwixted1992 All the execs, then.
@@anonUK ok so maybe £200. Congrats. Enjoy a nice meal out 😂
@@allenwixted1992
Better than the constant cuts everyone outside the 1% has been suffering since 2008, then.
What they haven't said is that they are planning to cut the anti social working hours pay from 20% to 10%. An individual that works exclusively nights will receive a pay cut under the new T&C's despite a "pay rise"
the "cost of living crisis" affects him so much
I nearly spat out my pot noodle when it was mentioned he was on £600,000. And he managed a straight face. Right here is why the UK is in such a pickle.
Has his pay and bonus kept pace with inflation over, say, the last decade? Wow, he stated he had offered a voluntary pay and bonus cut/freeze some time. So what prompted his return to normal(?)
Haven't fares risen above the level of inflation each of the last 10 years?
Notice he said temporary too. Suspect it is deferred rather than a cut
At least Mick Lynch actually took a pay cut as he was uncomfortable in his earnings when he took up the post with the RMT.
Shame on those CEOs, in different industries, they/their greed are the source of most of people's misery.

Passengers have to pay more because of the privatised cartel the Tories installed. Tax payers still have to support the highest fares in Europe.
Privatised profits socialised losses - nothing new here from the party of greed.
And labour were different were they ?
@@paulwainwright6903 What 'Labour'?
We have 'Murdoch Democracy' that means Filthy Rich Mandleson and Tory Tony had to pass muster.
@@paulwainwright6903 yes, they were
@@user-fp5dw4ff3d Labour stated that if they got into power in 1997 they would reverse rail privatisation and failed to do so when they were in office. They also said they would reverse the Beeching cuts in the 60s and also failed to implement this when they got into power. These governments are sadly all as bad as each other, they just use the railway as a political football instead of providing a properly subsidised system, and its the passengers that end up suffering while the railway fat cat bosses like this 'manager' above sits back and rakes it in.
@@EM-yk1dw tbh Blair’s Labour was bad and I can’t defend them. I do honestly believe starmers government can be better than that though. Plus considering the alternative why not vote for them.
£600,000 a year and he is asking people to except a pay rise below inflation. The average being 25,000 to 30,000. The absolute cheek!! This crisis is not effecting him at all. How can he understand the needs of the workers??
He doesnt. He cannot possibly comprehend the average everyday lives of his workers is like.
If he can get a 6.5 percent pay increase, especially when he's the least needy, then surely the whole company should get the same? Is it not discrimination
And he’ll have had a rise EVERY year plus bonuses !!
He doesn't even mention lowering fares as a possibility to get people back on the railway. The current cost of nigh on every journey is a total outrage. Surely lower, reasonable prices would mean most trains aren't running half empty - especially during off-peak times.
Privatised railways --- owned by EU Countries --- where the hec are the "take back control" brigade ?

Percentage pay rises are insidious. Big difference between 24k and 600k. Results in an increasing exponential difference.
Level that one up!
This is about a cost of living crisis where the shareholders are getting richer by the day and some workers are struggling to buy food and pay energy bills.
Mick Lynch might be a share holder!
It is about his pay. This country is in such a dark place - the pay of these goons is off the charts. Nationalise the railways now

With inflation at 9.4%, the RMT should be getting at least 9% for it's members.
@gjaegreag We should all be negotiating for at least 9% pay rises.
@gjaegreag Not if it is paid for out of the exorbitant profits earned by the rail bosses.
@gjaegreag Funny how the Tories weren’t concerned about inflation when they were wasting billions on apps that don’t work, dodgy PPE, lavish parties, Brexit or £800-a-roll wallpaper. Even now, Truss has promised to BORROW to fund tax cuts which will also cause inflation so take your crocodile tears elsewhere.
@gjaegreag thats not how inflation works.
Read less daily mail and read more scientific journals...
@gjaegreag we already have inflation with no pay so what's the choice? Poverty for all, keep us poor.
How is 8% over two years when inflation is 9.4% rn considered a good deal?
_Grant Snapps is anti-union, shocker._
I understand the on the ground workers demanding better pay, they deserve it.....the big bosses get paid more than enough
Is that 8% payrise this year & next year? Isn't that a pay cut each year?
It’s approx 2.7% each year for three years. Technically it’s locking in there earning potential for those years. He’s verbalising the proposal he should be issuing to the press
it's actually 8% over 2 years, so 4% this year and next, aka a 13% approximate pay cut.
That's a pay cut
No doubt there will be money in the kitty for his half a million pound golden handshake, bet he's not around in another 5 years, he really doesn't give a $hit about workers who earn £18-25k, I'm alright Jack.
"efficiency" is code for wage saving. this deal isn't going to run more trains or make the signals and points failures any less frequent (in fact by cutting maintenance by half it means they will be more frequent and the railways will be less safe and reliable but I digress) this is 100% about keeping wages for the average worker low while the boss class rake it in and skim the profit off the top.
its not a cost of living crisis, the crisis is within the system itself. they promise their shareholders returns year on year and its not sustainable. but rather than reduce (not even eliminate, just reduce) profit margins this year the difference has to be made up by cutting workers pay in real terms.
bring on the summer of solidarity and lets stand up against the profiteers for the rights of workers across the nation. we will not stay poor so the rich can get richer.
I support the strikers
No he's wrong it is about his pay and he's doing a bad job that's why people are on strike get some who can run the railways his pay is out of control
The £600,000 that he is earning is clearly not evidence of hard work, more like nepotism and phoneyism given the green light by Grant Shapps.
8% over 2 years. Or to put it another way 4% per annum. That's at least 5% per annum below inflation. A pay cut in real terms.
Don't forget this covers last year when there was no pay rise, so it's actually 8% over 3 years. Plus a 10% cut for anyone working unsociable hours.
There's not a referendum on every bill of law either, so why should that be with regards to unions and their members
Its not about his pay of £600000 , its about annual paycuts year on year for the people who actually make the rail ways work.
Rail tickets are far too expensive and now with work from home it’s going to go up more
'This isn't about my pay' What a joker! 😆
8% over 2 years is worth an extra £48,000 to this guy on his salary of £600,000 whereas an 8% rise over 2 years for a rail worker on £30,000 is worth £2,400 enough said!
I love how the only options are - pay staff less or put up prices for customers. They could just agree to be slightly less profitable and invest that money in their workforce. They would still make millions but they’re so greedy they wont ever consider an option that makes them a bit less well off. Selfish assholes.
This guy is on nearly 700 k a year 😳
“It’s not about what I get paid.” What a 🤡
Anybody not in a union getting a pay rise??? No I didn't think so..that's 90% of the population.
Sounds like a good reason to join a union!
And probably 100% of rail passengers...looks like tickets are going up again..and I bet Union boss's get the biggest pay rise plus union dues that the workers pay every month...what a life being a chimp in a suit.
A good and fair deal? Never mind my £600,000 salary! Now that's a good deal, of course Andy is worth this amount, and how is such a salary justified exactly? 🙄
Pay him the same and see how he accepts that.
He took a voluntary pay cut down to £50,000 a MONTH
He’s getting paid by the same company so how is it nothing to do with his pay? We’re talking about the finances of the company and how it is distributed among its workers.
Transport Secretary Can't Shapps aka Michael Green, is an old pal of Network Rail boss Andrew Haines, from Haines time as CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority.
If the deals was as good as he said RMT would agree bloke talking out of his back side ..
£600k for ‘managing’ a taxpayer sponsored company, my dog could do it if he had vocal cords.
Why don't they interview the CEO of Network Rail and Mick Lynch at the same time and let the public decide who is telling the truth? I doubt the CEO would want to do that as Mick Lynch would show them up for what they are........
Totally tone deaf, why only a temporary pay cut.
No compulsory redundancies, doesn't mean they will automatically fill posts of retiring workers.
WOW 600K a year
Why didn't they give the workers that guarantee of no redundancies before now??
So he got 6.5% rise ,that’s 39k,which is more than most of the rail workers earn in a year !
I'm sorry to say- but I've seen network rail up close now behind the scenes; and it really is just as shambolic as it's being portrayed, and once again we have a CEO being rewarded for failure
4% of £25,000 a year is £19 per week increase before tax.
Train drivers settled in Scotland
5%
Plus up to 5% depending on modernisation and efficiency savings
Bear in mind that workers in Scotland have been getting pay rises to match inflation for the past few years also - which English workers haven't gotten.
If this bloke didn't turn upto work for a few months nobody would notice but I guarantee if a cleaner didn't turn up to work for a day or so people would be going mad!
It’s 100% EVERYTHING to do with the whole situation….he gets paid over 20x an average worker and gets a pay rise every year plus bonus. All whilst taxpayers subsidise his company which is a monopoly !!
How gracious of him saying its not about his huge salary.
This man and others like him are just wicked and greedy. If only we would like treat others as we would want to be treated
8% over 3 years and he has just given himself 6.5% on his salary!!! They are always wacking up prices and they have taken massive amounts out of the buisness.
Haines and Burley are both on about £600,000 annual salaries. Why would anyone expect either to have empathy for a railway employee on £25,000 pa?
Complete straw man, they want to put Nr staff on worse t&cs. Worse rates of pay for out of hours and weekends. No one wants the bonus or reduced fees.
8% OVER 2 YEARS IS 4% THIS YEAR, DOES HE THINK WE CANT DO MATHS
Good on the Rail workers standing up to corrupt system inspirational to the rest of the country
6000 k plus bonuses
Mr Haines it’s a bloody awful deal
He sent an email to staff saying he knows he gets a good salary, but he gets paid less than the bloke before him 😂 🎻
How does this man sleep at night, greed greed greed
The staff do get consulted on it via there union reps
"Trade unions have too much power"? No, they really don't. I wouldn't mind £600k a year!
What was his pay increase percentage out of curiosity 🤔
I heard he gave himself 6.5% in April
@@tommydavid7127 is that every year and what kinda wedge is he taking home a year?
Reduce your wage and reduce the fares more people will use the railway
Aww bless him he has taken a significant cut in his pay compared to previous bosses 😂😂😂😂 poor luv must be really struggling to feed his family and keep a roof over their heads 🙄
Its ridiculous I agree about one thing put it to a vote and see who the British working people will stand behind not him that's for sure.
Inflation is running at between 9% and 11%, yet Network Rail are offering 8% over 2 years a cut of about 5% per year.
Look how shook he is when asked about his pay. It's now time for this country to turn itself around.
THE WORKERS NEED A 10 % FOR EACH YEAR FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS.
C.E.O.s pay should be capped at 150k P.A. no matter the industry privatised or nationalised.
Yesssss, thats what i was looking for. hanks for helping
Do people realize that the government gives network rail 5 billion+ subsidy and network can't agree to pay increases the government won't approve this and they Could cut subsidies
And I bet they’ll still put fares up !
This guy and his team have run Network rail into the ground
How Grant Schapps can remove 2 bn from funding when inflation is 11% thats the poltics of this dispute
Lower fares would help people to come back to the railways but with rip off theres no chance
He could lose £500000 and still have a great life. Greed.
