Rail unions have agreed what they call a "groundbreaking" deal with Network Rail, which secures pay rises and other conditions during the 2012 Olympics.

Some 10,000 workers will get a pay rise of around 10% over two years and some will get extra shift payments during the games, in the joint RMT-TSSA deal.

No staff can be dismissed during the games and disputes will be fast-tracked or suspended until September.

Network Rail said it was "great news" and the RMT called it a "good deal".

The deal states that both sides agree the "smooth running of the Olympic Games is in the national interest and all parties will take every measure possible to avoid industrial action during this period".

Bring back Maggie Thatcher   

ALSO

Stop throwing money at the sodding Olympics and tell the IOC that we are very sorry but we cannot afford their stoopid games, which were in any case, originally supposed to be amateur games and they could just as easily be held in any school playing field.

I should also like to see a proper accounting of the cost/benefit of the Olympics.

I bet the whole thing is an expensive waving of the nations willy at a dreadful cost to the taxpayer.

Stick it up the crooked IOC rectum I say.
