    No warning given? That is definitely not going to gain much support from people that use the busses.

    Do people even think before going on strike these days?

    I doubt it - they seem to have the same attitude as everyone else in the country (in power): Sure they'll just accept whatever we do anyway...

    I dont think they really give a toss what Joe public says. If its unofficial, its not approved by the union,which means its over something the union have not deemed worthwhile to get involved in.
    I must say it was a sorry show on the 6 oclock news. 5-10 lumbering apes with their hands in their pockets smoking fags posing for the cameras.
