Default London bus strikes

Feel free to take a PSV test. Free uniform is hardly a perk, having to
wear a uniform is a major disadvantage -- it'd be worse than having to
wear a suit!


I spend about �1,500 p.a. on clothing and laundering, so free uniform
would be a perk for me.

But free travel, paid holidays, paid sick leave, contributory pension
are all luxuries to someone who is self-employed and earns nothing
when ill or on holiday, has to provide his own pension, medical
insurance etc, etc.
