| Comment | I saw a post here on Reddit recently about Japanese bus drivers who went on strike. Instead of not providing service - and pissing off the general public - they just didn't charge for fares. Which still hurt the company.
Currently these strikes don't seem to have gained much public favour due to the disruptions sure. But at the same time I'm wondering what the point is, as it seems like its just to snub the current owners till the company is taken over by the Government. Where the owners right now don't have to care about the workforce, as its eventually going to be someone else's problem.
Which is to say they have a right to protest. It just appears like it'll be fruitless. Both in immediate action, and the effect it'll have on future owners. On account of the amount of disruption caused currently - whilst annoying - being minor. Its not really a power move what they're doing with the Sunday strikes. Just seems like a way of appearing like they're doing something without putting further effort in as it'd be pointless with the change of ownership. |
