The union is claiming triple pay and a day off in lieu for its members working on December 26, saying LU is refusing to offer any extra pay.

So, effectively that's quadruple pay for a day's work  eeek:   I know it's an opening bargaining position but piss orf Bob Crow. If they want any more than double time shut the system down; it's a Sunday and there's no CC so let 'em drive in  eveilgrin:

It's the usual Bob Crow Trotskyite blackmail. It's the first day of the sales in central london and he's hoping to hit them. But you are right.just shut it down for the day and let them drive in.
