I don't have a grudge against bus drivers (well, not all of them at least!), I just don't like people who think they should be treated differently because of the job they do. 

Why should bus drivers be entitled to boxing day off when other 'essential' workers aren't? They were happy to be called an essential worker last year, telling everyone how important their job is. But on boxing day they're just like 'nah, you can live without us'.

I'd say the same thing to someone working in a supermarket.

Aye I know what your saying. Personally I think it should be optional though with triple time or whatever they see fit. Obviously they'll never do that though if they could get away with it shareholders can't do that out their pockets. 

There'll always be some who would work if you offered the right pay.
