Roger Evans, the transport spokesman, said: "This deal is beyond
comprehension. It is an outrageous insult to every hard-working
Londoner. Yet again we're seeing the unions holding the capital to
ransom. They know the threat of strikes always pays off. The answer is
to ban strikes on the Underground.

Why is it an "insult"? It's not extra holidays - it's days off on
account of extra hours worked!

Well, I find it insulting as I don't get time off because of the extra hours
I work,

More fool you. If you can't do your job in your contracted hours,
then a) you're not upto the job, or b) the job is too much for one
person. If the former, you're lucky your employer hasn't noticed yet;
if the latter, your employer is laughing all the way to the bank,
since your readiness to be ****ed up the arse saves them employing
more/enough staff.
