I get it mate. I wasn't always on the railway 
To be fair I'm really a mechanic with a train licence. It pisses me off seeing these go on strike. I have to work longer hours, day and night, maintain parts of the railway infrastructure, repair my own train when it goes wrong and still drive the damn thing. We still get paid less than passenger drivers and I've never known any company operating yellow rail plant to go on strike.
Hmm.. I've kind of lost sight of the whole debate... I think my point was that jobs are always more than they appear, and that the pay is what it is.
I was a barman one, f*ck that was hard work!
