Personally, while I'm not always supportive of unions, I find the suggestion that people are striking for "free holiday" a highly unlikely scenario and I hate the constant suggestion that Covid has made people lazy.
Oh, absolutely. Each individual has a different motivation.
Some will genuinely be on strike because they feel the pay offer isn’t acceptable, others are on strike because they have seen how ‘scabs’ have been treated by their colleagues, and however unlikely you deem the scenario to be, it is the truth that some are using this as an opportunity for ‘free holiday’.
Most of us on this forum are bus users, are directly employed by the company, or have friends/family who are employed by the company. This means that the strike is affecting almost all of us on this forum. One thing that we can all agree on is that the company and Unite need to resolve the dispute as soon as possible.
