It seems that up to two and a half thousand bus drivers are going to strike in support of their pay demands.
Fair 'nuff I suppose if you are paid a pittance and the nasty bosses won't give you more but hold on a minute. They are demanding £30K per annum ~ for driving a bus for 39 hours a week eeek: You could train chimps to do that.
I wonder how much of this is because Red Ken promised them the earth ~ to be paid for out of his ridiculous idea of increasing the congestion charge to £25 a day on certain vehicles ~ and now that Boris is in charge and has scrapped that excessive charge they are trying to make a political point.
Why do we always end up with this sort of carry on from all points of the labour market when a Labour Government has been in the driving seat for a few years?

They do.
It is the chimps that are on strike.
£30k or 15 bananas a day, thats what they are demanding.
