Roger Evans, the transport spokesman, said: "This deal is beyond

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!

'Tis an insult that the deal they've come to still allows strikes.

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

If you're that insulted, maybe you should work somewhere else.

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.

Have you considered the possibility that the workload is so much that
very few people are up to it?
