Unofficial Bus Strike

Twilightning

Sitting at the bus stop in my uniform at 8 o'clock this morning dreading the double music class when a woman comes up to be and tells me the buses are off since her daughter had to get a taxi to work. I was wondering why there wasn't anyone at my bus stop. :pac:

Any idea if this is going to continue?

Give it an hour, it'll open 2 more tabs and load the site into each one at the same time.

What a bunch of incompetent fekers, they should be happy they got to keep all their jobs nevermind ruining peoples travel plans on a Monday morning without notice.

They should be ashamed, and the minister should just go ahead with the cuts if the drivers are going to be such petulant children about this.

They should really get a grip.

Just so as you don't get that sypathy back, they are on stike yesterday/today because 1 person refused to do a revised shift, on route cuts which the Unions backed (cuts, not this strike).

And even from the outset the stike threat was about then losing overtime, where they were offered to lose the over time or let people go, they chose to keep the overtime.

Similar to the Lufthana stike treat at the moment, lose job or overtime the dumwits prefer to lose their job.

Most definitely . Workers making any attempt to take control of their jobs is an utter disgrace isn't it ? They should bend over and take whatever crumbs are flung toward them.
