新闻：
Trades unx RMT is warning for what it calls the biggest strike in modern British history. The unx plans to ballot its members in the railway sector, asking to back strike action. The ballot, which opens on 26 April and runs until 24 May, could result in labour being withdrawn from fifteen passenger train operating companies in England and Wales, as well as over 40,000 railway workers from Network Rail, the national infrastructure agency.
英国铁路、海运和运输工会警告称，这是英国现代史上最大规模的罢工。工会计划对铁路部门的成员进行投票，要求支持罢工行动。这次投票将于4月26日开始，持续到5月24日，结果可能会导致英格兰和威尔士15家客运列车运营公司的劳工罢工，以及国家基础设施机构铁路网的40000多名铁路工人罢工。

The RMT unx says Network Rail intends to cut at least 2,500 safety-critical maintenance jobs as part of a 2 billion GBP reduction in spending on the network. Meanwhile, staff of train operating companies (TOC) have been subject to pay freezes, threats to jobs and attacks on their terms and conditions.
工会表示，作为削减20亿英镑铁路支出的一部分，铁路网打算裁减至少2500个安全关键维护工作岗位。与此同时，铁路运营公司的员工遭到了工资冻结、就业威胁以及条款和条件攻击的威胁。

Effect on freight

While the fifteen passenger operators targeted range from South Western Railway to LNER, the operations of freight carriers are potentially compromised if safety critical operational staff withdraw their labour from Network Rail posts. Tim Shoveller, regional director for Network Rail, defended the soon to be disbanded agency’s position. “”We cannot keep relying on government handouts, and so we must work together with train operators and our trade unxs to save millions of pounds and deliver a more efficient railway”, he told a BBC interview.
虽然15家客运运营商的目标范围从西南铁路到伦敦东北铁路，但如果涉及安全的关键操作人员撤出铁路网的岗位，货运运营商的运营可能也会受到影响。铁路网的区域主管蒂姆·舒弗勒为即将解散的铁路公司的立场进行了辩护。他在接受BBC采访时表示：“我们不能继续依赖政府的施舍，所以我们必须与列车运营商和工会合作，节省数百万英镑，建设一条更高效的铁路。”

Separate action is also proposed in Scotland, where the majority of passenger operations have just been brought back into public management after the local government exercised a break clause in its franchise contract with Dutch company Abelio.
苏格兰也提出了单独的行动，在当地政府执行了与荷兰公司阿贝利奥的特许经营合同中的一项中断条款后，大多数客运业务刚刚被重新纳入公共管理。

Echoing the strikes of the 1970s, and even further back into the crippling strikes in the 1920s that culminated in the General Strike of 1926, unx leaders have said that if members vote “yes” in the ballot, and breach the “anti-trade unx” legal threshold for turnout, then a national railway strike could begin as early as June.
工会领导人曾表示，如果成员在投票中投赞成票，并打破了“反工会”的法定投票率门槛，那么全国铁路罢工最早可能在6月开始，这让人们想起了20世纪70年代的罢工，甚至追溯到20世纪20年代的严重罢工（最终以1926年的总罢工达到顶峰）。

Fears of worsening industrial relations have been voiced already this year, with trades unx sources making dire warning of a summer of discontent on the network. “Railway workers have had to contend with pay freezes, the prospect of losing their jobs and repeated attacks on their terms and conditions”, said RMT general secretary Mick Lynch. “Removing 2,500 safety critical jobs from Network Rail will spell disaster for the public, make accidents more likely and will increase the possibility of trains flying off the tracks. Train operating companies have praised our members for being key workers during the pandemic but have refused to keep staff pay in line with inflation and soaring living costs.”
对劳资关系恶化的担忧在今年已经有所发声，工会消息人士在网络上发出了一个可怕的警告，称不满情绪将会持续一整个夏天。“铁路工人不得不应对工资冻结、失业前景以及对他们的条款和条件的反复攻击，”工会秘书长米克·林奇说。“从铁路网取消2500个关键安全岗位将给公众带来灾难，使事故更有可能发生，并将增加列车脱轨的可能性。列车运营公司在疫情期间嘴上称赞我们的会员是核心员工，但却拒绝将工资与物价上涨和生活费用挂钩。”

In Scotland the railway has been effectively renationalised since the beginning of the month. The RMT says it has evidence that the Scottish government’s Transport Scotland department has directly requested for Network Rail to cut the funding for railway operations, maintenance, and renewals across Scotland.
自本月初以来，苏格兰的铁路实际上已经重新国有化。工会表示，它有证据表明，苏格兰政府的苏格兰运输部直接要求铁路网削减苏格兰铁路运营、维护和更新的资金。
自本月初以来，苏格兰的铁路实际上已经重新国有化。工会表示，它有证据表明，苏格兰政府的苏格兰运输部直接要求铁路网削减苏格兰铁路运营、维护和更新的资金。
“An FOI [Freedom of Information] request passed to RMT shows Transport Scotland requested that Network Rail reduce its baseline budget by 65 million GBP in both 2022/23 and 2023/24”, says a statement from the unx. “This new evidence is in direct contradiction to official responses from the Scottish Government when asked previously about cuts to renewals and maintenance funding.” Because of impending local authority elections in Scotland, restrictions on public comment mean Transport Scotland and other government agencies are unable to comment until after 5 May.
工会在一份声明中表示:“一份提交给工会的信息自由请求显示，苏格兰运输局要求铁路网在2022/23年和2023/24年削减6500万英镑的基线预算。这一新证据与苏格兰政府之前被问及削减续签和维护资金时的官方回应直接矛盾。”由于苏格兰即将举行地方当局选举，对公众评论的限制意味着苏格兰交通部和其他政府机构要到5月5日之后才能发表评论。

“This new evidence is absolutely shocking and shows the Scottish Government playing fast and loose with passenger and railway worker safety”, said Lynch at the RMT. ”It was only a few weeks ago that the full report into the tragic and avoidable rail disaster at Carmont was published, which highlighted the systemic and structural failures in safety caused by fragmentation of maintenance and renewals.
“这一新的证据绝对令人震惊，表明苏格兰政府在乘客和铁路工人的安全问题上玩忽职守”，伦敦铁路运输协会的林奇说。就在几周前，卡尔蒙特铁路灾难的完整报告才发布，报告强调了由于维修和更新工作的分散造成的系统性和结构性安全问题。

“These cuts have the potential to make things worse and I am renewing our calls on the Scottish and UK Government’s to put an immediate halt to these planned cuts and wider plans by Network Rail to cut thousands of safety critical maintenance jobs and instead guarantee that the necessary investment in the rail infrastructure and modern communication systems to keep the railways safe will take place.”
“这些预算削减可能会使事情变得更糟，我再次呼吁苏格兰和英国政府立即停止这些计划中的削减，以及铁路网发起的，旨在削减数千个涉及安全的关键维修工作岗位的计划，并确保对铁路基础设施和现代通信系统进行必要的投资，以确保铁路安全。”

Lynch went on to say that thousands of railway workers have seen their living standards “plummet” and have run out of patience. “The way for trade unxs to effectively take on the cost-of-living crisis is to stand up for their members at work and take industrial action when employers are not moved by the force of reasoned argument.
A national rail strike will bring the country to a standstill, but our members livelihoods and passenger safety are our priorities.”
林奇接着说，成千上万的铁路工人看到他们的生活水平“直线下降”，已经失去了耐心。“工会有效应对生活成本危机的方法是，在雇主不能被理性的论点所打动时，为工作中的工会成员挺身而出，采取产业行动。
一场全国性的铁路罢工将使国家陷入停顿，但我们的成员的生计和乘客安全是我们的优先事项。”

I've worked for London Underground for 22 years. I've never, ever known it this bad. Morale is non existent, cuts everywhere, everything is either falling apart or not working. It's wholly down to the government and Boris trying to "win" what ever game he tried whilst mayor. The only people that suffer are the customers. Exactly the same on national rail. Fuck the tories.

Low pay, long hours and short term contracts. The drop off in foreign students had also had a major impact, despite fees being around 9k home students don't cover their own costs and universities need students paying the higher fees.
Coupled with a contraction in money for research and even the best universities in the country and suddenly finding themselves in a tough situation.
Another impact has been Brexit, UK funding hasn't been increased to make up for the lost funding so now an already reduced pot is being chased by more researchers.
低工资，工作时间长，短期合同。外国留学生的减少也产生了重大影响，尽管本国学生的学费高达9000英镑，但他们无法支付自己的费用，而大学需要学生支付更高的费用。

另一个影响是英国脱欧，英国的资金没有增加以弥补失去的资金，所以现在更多的研究人员正在争抢已经减少的资金。

The NHS too. I couldn't even get a pillow for a patient the other day. Rang 6 different wards and they were all short too. Like we're down to bare bones on a lot of stuff we need and use every day. Staff are fucked, and leaving in droves. I can't afford my bills on just my wage anymore so I can't actually afford to live on what I'm being paid. Thank god I'm not single. If it was just me I'd be done.
It's frowned upon if we strike though. So either we fight for what we need and end up vilified in the media. Or we shut up and take it and let the NHS slowly crumble.
国家医疗体系的情况也是一样。前几天我连个枕头都给不了病人。给6个不同的病房打电话，结果它们都很短缺。就像我们每天需要和使用的很多东西都只剩下了空货架。员工都完蛋了，成群结队地离开。光靠我的工资我已经付不起账单了，所以我不能靠现在的工资生活。谢天谢地，我不是单身。如果只有我一个人，那我完蛋了。
如果我们罢工，会让人不高兴。所以我们要么为我们的诉求而斗争最后被媒体中伤。要么我们闭上嘴，接受现状，让国家医疗体系慢慢崩溃。

Two things, firstly train unxs have a monopoly on rail travel in many parts of the country, so they can cause an immense amount of misery, suffering and economic losses if they don't get what they want. Compare this to for instance minimum wage workers at mcdonalds, if they go on strike, people will just go elsewhere, so their power is diminished.
Secondly train unxs usually deal with one big company, so its easy to go on strike against that company. Compare it with unxs for fast food workers who have hundreds of different companies some of who have better or worse conditions, so the unx can't easily justify going on strike against all the companies at once, again weakening their power.
两点，首先，铁路工会垄断了全国很多地方的铁路运输，所以如果他们得不到他们想要的，他们会造成巨大的痛苦和经济损失。与麦当劳的最低工资工人相比，如果他们罢工，人们就会去其他地方吃快餐，所以他们的实力就会被削弱。
其次，铁路工会通常只与一家大公司打交道，所以很容易罢工反对那家公司。相比之下，快餐工人的工会拥有数百家不同的公司，其中一些公司的条件更好或更差，所以工会不能轻易地捍卫同时针对所有公司的罢工，进而再次削弱了他们的实力。

Well, the ticket prices rose by a record amount again at the start of the year (as they do every year, always a new record rise) so you'd think that they would be paying the staff more from that.
But of course, that's not how it really works. Much like the gas companies increasing the standing charge even though it is the unit cost that has risen and it doesn't cost them any more to provide the service. This is just putting up prices because they can, as high as they can get away with and purely for the purpose of extracting more profits for the shareholders.
The system we live under is not fit for purpose.
好吧，车票价格在今年年初再次创下新高（每年都是如此，总是创下新高），所以你会认为他们会因此付给员工更多的钱。
当然，这并不是真正的工作方式。就像天然气公司提高了常备费用，尽管单位成本上升了，而且他们提供服务的成本也没有增加。这只是抬高价格，因为他们可以尽可能地抬高价格纯粹是为了为股东获取更多的利润。
我们生活在其中的制度是不能用常理来推断的。

I'd encourage people read what the strikes are about before passing judgement. £2bn in cuts are in the works, including 2,500 lost jobs related to safety work. Think about how abysmal rail service is already with the near-guaranteed delays and frequent cancellations. Now imagine that being even worse. Of those that are left, their living standards are set to plummet with continued pay freezes and worsening contracts. And no, not every person who works in rail is the 'train driver paid 50 grand to push a button' you always hear about when this comes up.
We should direct our anger at the abysmal companies that have run our rail services into the ground, and our complicit government who have let them do it. Not the workers.
我鼓励人们在做出判断之前先看看罢工的原因。20亿英镑的裁员计划正在进行中，包括2500个与安全工作相关的岗位的裁员。想想铁路服务已经有多糟糕了，这样一来几乎肯定会出现延误和频繁的班次取消。现在想象一下更糟糕的情况。那些留下来的人，由于工资持续冻结和合同恶化，他们的生活水平将直线下降。不，不是每个在铁路系统工作的人都是每当这个问题出现时，你总是听到的那种说法——“火车司机拿着5万英镑的高薪只是按个按钮”。
我们应该把我们的愤怒指向那些把我们的铁路服务搞得一团糟的公司，以及让他们这么做的我们的同谋政府。而不是铁路工人。

We should direct our anger at the abysmal companies that have run our rail services into the ground, and our complicit government who have let them do it. Not the workers.
我鼓励人们在做出判断之前先看看罢工的原因。20亿英镑的裁员计划正在进行中，包括2500个与安全工作相关的岗位的裁员。想想铁路服务已经有多糟糕了，这样一来几乎肯定会出现延误和频繁的班次取消。现在想象一下更糟糕的情况。那些留下来的人，由于工资持续冻结和合同恶化，他们的生活水平将直线下降。不，不是每个在铁路系统工作的人都是每当这个问题出现时，你总是听到的那种说法——“火车司机拿着5万英镑的高薪只是按个按钮”。
我们应该把我们的愤怒指向那些把我们的铁路服务搞得一团糟的公司，以及让他们这么做的我们的同谋政府。而不是铁路工人。

Good news, it will send a clear message to the gov. Get inflation under control or else! The rise of the unxs is necessary with this gov.
好新闻，这将向政府发出一个明确的信息：控制住通货膨胀，否则……！工会的崛起对政府来说是必要的。

If inflation is a genuine concern then the idiots at RMT should not have been so stupid to support brexit
如果通胀是一个真正的担忧，那么铁路、海运和运输工会的白痴们当初就不应该愚蠢到支持英国脱欧

Inflation is an issue caused by banks most of the time like in 2008, the US is likely going crash on Monday with the S&P 500 goes below 4000.
Brexit and the war in Russia (Inflation shot up before this even happened ffs) are being used as scapegoats for the real reason though they are not helping matters.
通货膨胀是银行引起的问题，就像2008年，只要标准普尔500指数跌破4000点，那么美国很可能会在周一崩溃。
英国脱欧和俄罗斯的战争（通胀在这之前就飙升了）正在因为真正的原因被用作替罪羊，尽管它们无助于问题的解决。

Inflation is an issue caused by fossil fuels most of the time, which allows a small number of actors (including banks) to hold the rest of us hostage
大多数时候，通货膨胀是由化石燃料引起的，这使得少数参与者（包括银行）可以把我们当作人质

Who told you that horse shit? So you think getting rid of fossial fuels will stop reccessions and inflation?
No the banks take stupid risks in the stock market, they give loans out to dodgy actors and people who can't afford the loans, when they start struggling the FeD or BoE start pumping money into the system and the increase in money increases inflation and this has been happening for years but acclerated with Covid.
If you are pointing at fuel prices as being the reason for inflation or energy prices, those are a mix of reasons but also caused by inflation rising at the end of last year, so its a symptom not the reason for the inflation.
谁告诉你那些扯淡的？所以你认为摆脱化石燃料就能阻止经济衰退和通货膨胀吗？
不，是银行在股市上愚蠢地冒险，他们把贷款发放给那些不可靠的参与者和无法支付贷款的人，当他们开始陷入困境时，美联储或英国央行开始向系统注入资金，于是资金的增加加大了通胀，这种情况已经发生了多年，但随着疫情的出现而加剧了。
如果你认为燃料价格是通胀的原因，或者能源价格是通胀的原因，这是多种原因的结合，但也是去年年底通胀上升的后果，所以这是一个症状，而不是通胀的原因。

Do you really believe the government can control inflation?
The war in Russia is driving up gas and oil prices. Ukraine is a massive exporter of food. So it's driving up agriculture prices.
This Inflation is not really something we can control. Its an international issue, there is war in Europe.
The only tools the government has to control inflation is to restrict the flow of money usually via a raise in interest rates / taxation.
Sadly this is the new reality until the war is settled, it may yet get worse. Striking and unxs are not going to do anything to solve the global problem of inflation.
你真的相信政府能控制通货膨胀吗？
俄罗斯的战争推高了天然气和石油价格。乌克兰是一个巨大的粮食出口国。所以它也推高了农产品价格。
这种通货膨胀不是我们能控制的。这是个国际问题，欧洲正在打仗。
政府控制通货膨胀的唯一工具是限制资金流动，通常是通过提高利率/税收。
可悲的是，这是新的现实，它可能会变得更糟，直到战争结束。罢工和工会对解决全球通货膨胀问题没有任何作用。

I wish the unxs of my sector would call for strikes. While I was a grad I watched 4 years of talks with the government happen each with a triumphant ≈1.5% pay increase at the end of it. Why would I join that?
Threaten a strike, and I’m in.
我希望我所在部门的工会组织罢工。当我还是一名毕业生的时候，我目睹了与政府进行了4年的谈判，每次谈判的最后加薪都高达1.5%。我为什么要加入这种谈判？
威胁罢工，我会加入。

Train tickets are already too expensive. It’ll be ticket prices going up or tax payer funded. I don’t suppose the execs will take a pay cut
火车票已经太贵了。要么票价上涨，要么直接用纳税人的钱。我认为高管们不会接受减薪

All this mention of regular workers taking a cut but nothing about the execs how strange. This might be a an uneducated idea but why can’t it just be government owned and made to just break even rather than bring in a profit?
所有这些都提到了普通员工要减薪，但没有提到高管们，太奇怪了吧。这可能是一个无知的想法，但为什么不让政府拥有它，让它达到收支平衡，而不是追逐利润呢？

So happy to have paid 200£ for a return ticket a few weeks ago and to see that all that money definitely doesn’t go to workers by the looks of it! What a scam!
我很高兴几周前花了200英镑买了一张往返票，但从表面上看，这些钱肯定没有给铁路工人！真是个骗局！

Given how shit rail service (and other public transport) is becoming even without strikes, now is probably a good time to ditch public transport and get a car.
考虑到即使没有罢工，铁路服务（和其他公共交通）也正在变得有多糟糕，现在可能是放弃公共交通，买一辆私家车的好时机。

Mick Lynch is a cretin. He wants all sorts of jobs retained, at high salary, even though rail is losing over £400m/month. Network rail want £2bn in savings (which still doesn't cover the losses). And he hasn't realised that the game of going on strike and holding commuters to ransom just won't work any more. Nearly everyone is set up for remote work and will work from home on those days.
米克·林奇是个白痴。即使铁路每月损失4亿英镑，他仍希望保留各种高薪工作。铁路网希望节省20亿英镑（这仍不足以弥补亏损）。他还没有意识到，罢工和劫持通勤者的游戏已经不再有效了。几乎每个人都准备好了远程工作，在他们罢工那些日子里都会在家工作。

You do know the jobs they want retained are maintenance staff yeah? Which they plan on getting rid of by cutting maintenance in half essentially.
Do you think it's a good idea to cut half your ground staff and the ability to maintain the network correctly?
你知道工会想保留的工作岗位是维修人员，对吧？铁路网打算通过减少一半的维护来解决这个问题。
你认为削减一半的地面工作人员和正确维护网络的能力（来节省开支）是一个好主意吗？

Sweet. I'll just work from home that day then instead.
Rail strike. It's 2022 not 2019. The power has gone away. I'm sorry, but it really has. In time this will come to be seen as a massive strategic error.
随意。那我到那时候就在家工作好了。
还铁路罢工。现在是2022年了，不是2019年。罢工已经没用了。我很抱歉这么说，但确实如此。假以时日，这将被视为一个巨大的战略错误。

你知道铁路服务的不仅仅是乘客，顾忌乐购不喜欢不能通过货运列车来装运货物吧……
