To me this seems like a bribe, just like the bribe the RMT took a year or so ago not to strike during the Olympics.
Bob Crow is a moron, I hate him more than I hate, hate. After the Olympics and the Tube is bankrupt what will he do then?

The new Bribery Act 2010 has a dramatic impact on the criminal exposure of corporations, partnerships and senior personnel that do business in the UK. There are significant fines which may be unlimited in respect of the corporate offence. Individuals will also be liable to a term of imprisonment up to a maximum of 10 years.
The Bribery Act provides for:
•offences of giving and receiving bribes, in both the public and private sectors;
•an offence of bribing a foreign public official;
•corporate liability for failing to prevent bribery;
•personal criminal liability for directors etc.
Areas of particular concern include corporate hospitality, facilitation and payments and commissions.
Also, in international business the Americans have very tough and wide-ranging anti-bribery laws. Best to proceed with caution!

Pragmatically,£850 is cheap compared to what the useless t
ts could do to screw the olympics.
Most people want the olympics to be a showcase of why Britain is Great. An opportunity to have a little pride in our nation. There are thousands of people volunteering their time and effort to make this happen. However these money grubbing little no-marks would sooner threaten the country with ruining the event in order to get a bit more pay. The unions and their members who are willing to do this, are beyond contempt.

It is up to the union to get the best deal it can for its members.
I guess they are being asked to work outside of the current agreement.
After tax it is not exactly a great amount.
With regard bribes.... Trade Attaches hand out advice to people on how to do business with certain countries
