I read yesterday that Tube drivers are demanding up to £1200 just to do

their normal job during the Olympics and Paralympics. This really

annoyed me, so I've started a HM Gov e-Petition he

I think you are too late. The deal was agreed yesterday. But it is not
for doing their normal job. There's a basic £500, presumably to reflect
the fact that services will be much busier than in a normal quiet August
(and probably because annual leave will not be possible for most drivers
during that month) and anything above that £500 is for overtime.
