They want an extra £3.50 an hour for staff covering the games, and a pay deal of a 10% rise over two years and a promise of no sackings during the games.
What fucking planet are these people on? Currently I'm unemployed, made redundant at the end of January, I was an IT and Facilities Manager and also attended roughly 25 medical conferences in the UK and Europe each year, I probably did a shit load more than most tube drivers, I spent an awful lot of time on the road and away from friends and family and got paid a shit load less than a driver's salary for my trouble. (That's not a plea for sympathy, I enjoyed my job and would still be happily doing it now if the hammer had not fallen).
My point is that people in this country are losing their jobs daily, I personally know 4 in the last week an a half, and this twat is trying to have London Underground over a barrel using the Olympics as leverage. It's about time somebody at LU 'manned up', and told these union idiots (who almost to a man still seem to think it's the 1970's), to take a vacation where the sun doesn't shine. The labour force want to take strike action......let them, it might be worth pointing out what the current unemployment figure is as they head out the door, then suggest that it might be best if they didn't come back. The capital is full of unemployed people who would be happy to replace them......I know where they can find 5 immediately.
