The agreement that I'm aware of was to 'buy' the drivers out of
longstanding agreements in the interests of flexibility. Temporary
longer shifts and later finishes.

There was no 'no strike' deal.

I must stop reading the telegraph, and go back to the Daily Mail

Yes you must; maybe ask someone who actually knows and not trust the
bull**** in the media!

After all, I'm only a lowly union rep.

Then you've got a problem (maybe deliberately fostered by the employers)
that the public *think* there's a no-strike deal and won't be very
sympathetic if there is one. Not that they are very sympathetic anyway,
even when there isn't an Olympics happening.
