Policeman wins a week’s holiday for time spent donning uniform is the story here. I can’t see much difference between a policeman having to wear a uniform and a bus driver having to wear a uniform as part of the job requirement, neither would choose to spend their non-working time in the uniform.

There are just a couple of minor hurdles to overcome before UK bus drivers will also get extra holiday to allow for dressing time – “The decision is not yet final – the judgement can be submitted to a higher administrative court” and it’s in Germany. But at least Germany is in the EU which should stand us in good stead when we claim an extra weeks holiday from Stagecoach :-)
