It is ill concieved that one set of public sector workers rails against another.
I bet the Police fedaration wish they had a spokesperson like the rail workers do.

With respect Richard but an agreement was already in place re pay and they should stick to that .Threatening industrial action when such an agreement is in place is bad enough but threatening it during the Olympics is unjustifiable .The drivers are probably some of the best paid manual workers in the country ,they are already paid well over the odds comparatively speaking for the job they do but to seek a bonus just for working during the Olympics when they will normally be working anyway is just plain wrong and will gain no support from the public in general
