Usual Billy Bob on the street will get 36 days including the standard 8 days bank holiday; why is a tube driver entitled to an extra 7 days?

And they're wanting triple pay and time in lieu for working a contracted day

I don't know, ask the Government? Perks of working for the London Underground are higher than normal, you will find that with any job on the Underground, that's just the way it is. Just because you've suddenly all found out about it then it's a problem? Also not sure if Train Drivers get more but I get 37, so 2 days more than a normal person, so I don't know if that's an error in printing or they do get more. Great pensions, always good job prospects, enjoyable job etc. Instead of people moaning about it I suggest they work for LUL tbh as I'm here for life.

TfL Operational staff get 29 days holiday standard much like the majority of other jobs. Another 8 days are for bank holidays that they either work and get a day in lieu or take off as a holiday. There are another 5 days accumulated due to contacts only being 35hrs a week which was agreed to by TfL and the Unions, but, all staff work 7hrs and so many minutes a day which, over the course of the year equates to an extra 5days holiday. It's swings and roundabouts. But it does work out when the maths are done, but people just see the highest number and take that as the media has said it, so it must be true. I work for TfL and it makes sense to me. As Graham said, im here for life too.

I read that as being triple pay just on bank holidays + a day off in lieu as opposed to tripling their annual salary?

Perhaps I've missed the point though. Hungover

yet you dont think asking for a day off in lieu, when they already get the day off added to their AL entitlement, isnt a pisstake also. interesting

but you just said all theya re asking for is triple pay and a day off in lieu

also, ive paid no attention to news etc. and as i mentioned before, couldnt gaf about pay/holidays, just wish the cunts would stop going on strike like little scummy fuckers, esp on boxing day which severely disrupts the ability of people to see loved ones and family, esp the odle rpeople in london.
