Tube drivers paid extra £1800 not to strike during Olympics

[hornetrider]

...but there is not a 'no-strike' clause linked to the payment!

So much wrong with this I don't even know where to fecking start!

Soov apologies

They are also on a basic of 43k plus overtime. Nice work if you can get it!

The world's worst .

Good at his job though, I'd say.

Which is?

Being a and extracting maximum folding for his members no matter how unreasonable their demands.

Do you know what pisses me off? They've had to cut the opening ceremony short because the fking tubes don't run late enough.

WHAT THE fk.

What's wrong with running them 24hrs for the duration of the Olympics, or at the very fking least, maybe, you know, extend the running time of the tube on the night of the ceremony???

Incompetent s.

They have extended the running hours, for the whole period. You can't run them for 24 hours a day though as those of us that fix the signalling/tracks etc quite like to do so without having to dodge trains every 3 minutes, or be standing on an electrified track

Not enough, clearly.
