workers' bonus Boris bike

Hundreds of workers employed on London's bike hire service are set to receive a £500 bonus for working during the Olympics.

The Community union said its 220 members on the so-called Boris Bike scheme - named after the capital's Mayor Boris Johnson - will also get improved overtime payments in recognition of their increased workload during the Games.
The deal, the latest in a string of Olympic bonus deals for transport workers, will be put to Community's members over the next few days.
