They don't miss a trick

The RMT don't miss a trick do they?

The most telling sentence in that article was in reference to the Sydney Olympics:

"What they had done was put an attendance bonus in place where it gave a benefit to people to come to work, to make sure the Games run smoothly and give the company flexibility on the running of the services"

So, let's see if I've got this right, the RMT employees are asking for a bonus to attend work during the 2012 Olympics. Isn't this what they are paid a salary for? To attend work?

And then this bit:

When asked what would happen if Transport for London (TfL) did not agree to it, Mr Crow said: "I imagine if our members don't get the same as other groups of workers have, we could have difficulties."

If that's not blackmail then I don't know what is. It's disgusting, appalling and any other "disgusted of Wimbledon" adjective you might like to insert.

What happened to having a pride in your country and thinking "Oooh the Olympics are coming, here's a chance to show how good we are".

Nope, all you get here is "Ooh the Olympics are coming, here's a chance to line our pockets boys!"

Makes me sick, it really does.
