I would like to see the public boycott the local bus service if the proposed disruption to the transport system goes ahead.
My partner works long hours in the catering industry and is paid the minimum wage - compared to £8.41 per hour plus bonuses for bus drivers.
Catering staff form a substantial part of the working backbone of this area, yet they have little or no union support, sometimes cope with appalling conditions, often have to put up with difficult customers and nowadays receive little in the way of tips.
It is time the public decided to take a stand against the greed of sections of the working population which are prepared to disrupt "essential public services".
This is not the way forward in gaining public support and I hope the union concerned, the drivers and the bus company all grow up, get the matter sorted out and let other hardworking people get to and from their place of work.
