Solid

London bus drivers went on strike today.

It's over Olympic bonuses - or the lack of them. All London transport workers are getting a bonus for the flexibility they're being expected to show during the forthcoming two-week nightmare. All, that is, except the bus drivers, who are also the only ones expected to provide 24/7 service.

And London transport bosses have given themselves an £80k bonus. Each. This is 160-times more than the £500 bus drivers are asking for.

At this depot down the road from me not a single bus left all day. It's good to see working people standing up to piss-take and bullying. If you have to demand the respect you deserve, so be it.
