    Cheapest rail tickets from Nottingham/Derby to London?

    I do have a railcard so I can make things 1/3 more affordable I don't mind waiting to save money after all - 20 quid is worth more than 3 hours work at min wage! I'm treasury first so I'll make 50 changes if it'll save me money!! I don't mind the time- I'll leave the time to get the cheapest...

    Are there any financial benefits/perks of joining a union?

    I see! Why didn't he make a complaint and ask for a partial/full refund of all those (wasted) union dues?! He should have gone it alone- a TfL job with all those perks and the good pension would be worth going alone IMO! Surely CCTV could have proved his innocence? Also what settings were...

    I got a 0-hour with FRS lol! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It's now over 14 quid with the holdiay allowance factored in! I managed to get it with little experience! Though as it's 0-hour I need another job to cover the gaps!

    Are there any financial benefits/perks of joining a union?

    Good to hear- at least your union fees are partially offset! And you're much more honourable than Scargill! * *http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/dec/21/arthur-scargill-battle-union-flat

    Long distance commuting to London

    Oh I see, though TfL is brilliant with an interest-free loan for travel costs! Really? Network rail is the publicly owned part of the railways so I'd thought it'd be heavily unionised with good perks!!

    Are there any financial benefits/perks of joining a union?

    I'd be interested to find out about those perks- though car/home insurance is irrelevant to me. If those discounts are worth more than the membership fee it would be wise for me to join The last point is interesting but if you know your rights you can fight for them and use an employment...

    Are there any financial benefits/perks of joining a union?

    I only have a casual 0-hour contract which means I might not even work in a month if work's are thin but I'd still have to pay union fees which would be financially foolish as I would effectively be making a loss on my job! To be honest, I do feel confident I could defend myself, if I had to...

    Are there any financial benefits/perks of joining a union?

    I don't mean wage bargaining or striking..I mean things like perks or discounts or special offers for union members Ideally any perks that would offset the membership fees for example the packaged bank accounts with freebies that make the account worth paying for!?

    Cheapest rail tickets from Nottingham/Derby to London?

    Hi, Are there are any ways I can split tickets or save money by say using Finsbury Park rather than King Cross or St.pancras? Also would I be able to split tickets to save money? I would like to travel on a weekday in Mid-July though I'm flexible and just want the cheapest route!

    Long distance commuting to London

    I'd be willing to travel from Nottingham to London! (Baring in mind that working in the railway industry would mean free or heavily discounted rail travel!)
