Tube drivers paid extra £1800 not to strike during Olympics
Discussion
...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!

Is it really that difficult to sack them and employ new staff with a 'no-union' clause?
Simple answer - yes. They have got to do something unbelievably dangerous before they can be sacked. EDLT said:

Simple answer - yes. They have got to do something unbelievably dangerous before they can be sacked. Edit: Wiki - "It bans agreements or terms in employment contracts which require, prohibit, or discriminate on the basis of union membership"

I thought it was illegal to either ban or make unions mandatory?

That's interesting, because there was a no union clause when I worked for a pubchain about 11years ago (unless it was a no-strike clause and I've become confused over the years - which is highly likely )Edit: Wiki - "It bans agreements or terms in employment contracts which require, prohibit, or discriminate on the basis of union membership"

Unions came in and striked until he was re-instated as they thought he was being made an example of and it was unfair.

Wow. How much do bus drivers get? They have to deal with steering and everything – must be north of 60k?
If only... For a nominal 40 hour week with her shifts starting between 4 and 5 am, and being on the top pay rate for her depot (which is about the most any driver can earn in TfL-land) the OH's salary is a smidgin over half of the 43k basic mentioned above.Edited by twister on Wednesday 14th September 10:01
Not totally O/T though - now bus drivers are at it, as promised.

The second article is from last year but does provide decent background.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2156848/Lo...

This is a tricky one in truth, I accept the argument that they're essentially trying to cynically cash in. On the other hand, if TFL has already given train and rail staff extra money for essentially doing nothing, then surely the bus drivers - and the union they belong to - would be stupid to not demand the same?
