Re: tube strikes...

Saw this BBC article being discussed on #uk_goffs... I double-checked the numbers on TFL's site, because it was that unbelievable:

Mr Livingstone said a deal was reached more than a year ago to give station staff a 35-hour week and 52 days leave, adding that he was totally committed to implementing it.

"This strike is completely unnecessary. This deal gives Tube station staff a 35-hour working week and 52 days' holiday a year."

52 FUCKING DAYS???

Next time I see anything about a strike in a tube station, I'm going to deface it, I swear. Cheeky fuckers!
