Go North East respond after bus drivers hit out over pay rise

They've been some of the most protected from the virus, working completely behind screens, not taking cash etc. People working in the likes of Tesco don't have that luxury, even those working on checkouts aren't really that enclosed, the screens are just there to give the illusion of safety

Their industry has been propped up by the government while others have had very little support so they haven't had to worry about losing their job. And as buses were still running, a lot of drivers didn't even have to deal with a 20% drop in earnings from furlough.

I'm not sure why you insist on turning it into a race to the bottom, workers vs workers and so on, but this really has nothing to do with the thread. You're repeating points that you've made previously in the Coronavirus thread.
