Given that the tech exists already for trains not to have a driver at all then I’d say that it’s a good wage. The rail unions are strong because of their ability to bring an economy to a standstill. That’s why their wages are high.
SG have made a smart move in reducing the timetable. It means that the drivers will need to go on full strike now to force any further disruption. There is not a lot of public sympathy for the drivers yet and if they escalate then I can’t see that changing. And I would imagine that the drivers themselves don’t have the appetite for their income going to zero if they go on full strike.
