Pretty pathetic showing by the union. If you say you're going to strike, fuckign strike! Who takes private busses anyway? This is like asbestos installers striking.

Dude, the point isn't going on strike. It's being willing to go on strike in order to get the concessions you want. You should know that.

But it doesn't seem like they are willing to.

Have you ever negotiated anything? Flat "take-it or leave it" offers aren't a particularly good strategy unless your only objective is having a quick decision.

And I think the partial strike suggests that they are, in fact, willing to strike while still leaving open a big opportunity to negotiate.
