Default Bob Crow Gets His Claim in 7 Years Early

I see that Bob Crow is getting his claim for extra pay for tube train
drivers very early, obviously expecting a lot of hassle negotiating
this one. Is it relevant to cite Sydney as precident bearing in mind
that there will have been Athens and Beijing before London.
Maybe Beijing will be better precident, if you don't turn up for work
you will be put up against a wall and shot.
I wonder what Ken has to say about this?

It just goes to show how crappy the RMT are, if they are after the best
deal for members you wait until nearer 2012, then you put in a ludicrous
claim, and because everyone is sooo desperate to keep the staff
working it gets paid.

What they are doing is to claim a quick victory, cos everyone knows how
poor they really are.
