Bus strikers beat themselves up

 

By Anthony Sheridan

So the bus striker’s strategy was moving along nicely, the Government and management were under increasing pressure to act and there was plenty of public sympathy and support for the strikers.

Then, without warning, the strikers decided to do the Government and management a big favour by banging themselves over the head with a big stick called, wildcat strike.

Public anger is now directed against the strikers, sympathy has fallen away and Government and management are off the hook.

Is this just plain old-fashioned stupidity or insanity?
