Bus drivers on strike
Thousands Stranded As RapidPenang Drivers Strike
Koh Orders RapidPenang To Restore Service
I'm not sure how much these bus drivers are getting and so I can't really comment on whether their request for a RM200 pay rise was a fair one. But to me it all comes down to the need for more money to afford better stuff, isn't it? And again, whose fault is it that our so-called buying power is so damn low? I'm sure that if we could buy more with every ringgit we are now earning, there would be less cases of employees asking for a pay rise every year.
i for one is in support for all these strikes. i think it's time for the country to show that the ppl on the street means business... be it to the powers to be... or corporate masters.
ReplyDeletezewt: I agree. If it is only to restore the idea that the people should be allowed to voice their discontent in an open - but of course fair - manner.
