London bus drivers strike over Olympics payments
|

Thousands of London bus drivers, represented by Unite union, hold a strike over the pay during the 2012 Olympic Games.
The union has claimed that the drivers will face massive workload during the Olympics and thus demanded a £500 bonus for every bus driver. All other London transport workers receive a bonus on a scale between £500-£900.
The bus companies, however, "haven't met with Unite once to discuss bus workers' extra contribution to the Olympic Games and TfL [Transport for London] has refused to intervene," Unite regional secretary for London, Peter Kavanagh, said.
"London buses will come to a standstill for the first time in a generation across London," he added.
The union also claimed it cannot rule out further strikes during the Olympics.
