Yesterday they finally ended the bus strike, but the buses started really running 今朝. They were on strike for about 10 days, but some of the drivers got back to work on Friday. I was in the bus on Friday morning, and when it stopped in Tuira. There was a bunch of drivers on the bus stop, yelling “Your driver is a scab (lakkorikkuri), better think if it’s a good idea to sit in that bus”, and throwing in some papers (“Here’s the list”).

Well, the strike was illegal. The union was fined quite heavily for it. So, it was a bunch of criminal scum picking on their law-abiding co-worker. Guess who got the sympathy of the passengers? Nobody left the bus to freezing winter morning to support their idiotic strike – instead, people ascertained that they’ll “never say ‘good morning’ to those drivers again”. Congratulations for bus drivers, it was a very well thought out move.
