Page 7 of of todays Argus.

They were offered 1.1
but the Union says it Ain't enough.


They are Lucky to have a Job.

Maybe Polish Drivers would be far better.

Yes get Rog
to take a Pay Cut.
His Cut then gets put into a free Vending machine for all Staff.

Strike Threat could then be over.

I shouldn't think that he will feel the pinch in quite the same way Infinite ... regardless of the actual sum.

The point Daveb is making is that the payrises are not even remotely in keeping with inflation. So effectively despite payrises as they stand the income is going to be less in 'real' terms.

Yes Dave
they ain't all good Drivers.
They are Lucky to have a job.

1-3% at the moment is very low.
The teachers are forced into a three year deal by Gordon Brown.

Power bills have just risen by 15%.
Car fuel has risen by much the same.
Food will cost a lot more due to this.

Would you want to drive a bus around Brihton for £350 a week.
In some areas the bus drivers should get a medal as well as a payrise.

On the other hand, the way some of them drive they should be locked up.

They do not need to strike
many get Overtime.

the minimum pay rise is 1.1, the maximum is ave 2.75 over two years.
