While waiting for the Underground strike to end

Those striking drivers starting annual salary is 40,000 pounds (over $66,000). They get 43 days of paid vacation (plus holidays) per year. And they work a grueling 36 hour work week. So, while millions of people around the world are out of work due to no fault of their own, what do the Underground workers do? They go on strike. Sorry, but "Mind the Gap" just doesn't quite cover it.
