Olympics set to be a fiasco?

We've already had the balls up over ticketing...

Union leaders say Tube staff are not being offered
enough extra money for working erratic hours during the 2012 London
Olympics. The Rail, Maritime and Transport union says transport
authorities' offer to give subway train drivers a one-time payment of
approximately £500 pounds for agreeing to have their normal schedules
disrupted during the games is not enough.





The union's leader Bob Crow said he wanted a more generous payment that applied to all London Underground staff.

I think you'd do it for £500 p/w, not the whole duration of the games (is that about 1 month?).

Talk about leaving things to the last minute. Things like this should have been sorted when we 1st won the bid.
