well, they have every right to strike, and for once its a private company bearing the brunt (like cadbury's as well) but they never had a hope of the increases being bandied about, and in fact such demands are well out of kilter with what the NBRU would have looked for down the years. I'm not sure about today, but the wage of bus drivers and conductors was never mega, most would have lived in council houses which they may have bought out at cheap rates in the 80's and 90's. For them to try and get well out of that zone is a bit optimistic.

Don't speak to soon, we shall see why the NBRU seek from IE when SIPTU demands are revealed.
