Default Bus Drivers And The Olympics

In message , at 17:31:08 on Sat, 16

I thought the train drivers were getting a bonus for agreeing not to
go on strike, and working more flexible hours. Or are these defined as
"stress" today?


The agreement that I'm aware of was to 'buy' the drivers out of
longstanding agreements in the interests of flexibility. Temporary
longer shifts and later finishes.

There was no 'no strike' deal.


I must stop reading the telegraph, and go back to the Daily Mail
