Mind The Pay Gap? Tube Drivers 'To Get £55k'

Quote:
London's tube drivers are set to see their wages rise 5% this year, more than double the national average, to hit £55,000pa over the next four years.
That's a hell of a deal

Quote:
The latest pay offer by London Underground (LU) has been put to leaders of the Rail Maritime and Transport union (RMT) who are now consulting their members' representatives.
Whats to consult ,any other worker would snatch their employers hand of

Quote:
LU said the deal offered the prospect of no industrial action over wages until at least 2015.
ah so LU have bottled it then with the olympics coming up

Quote:
Under its terms, staff would get a 5% increase this year followed by RPI inflation plus 0.5% in the subsequent three years.
It is a marked improvement on national salary increase averages
no kidding
