What's the dispute on? Legolas Send a noteboard - 19/09/2011 11:13:24 PM
Because frankly, their case is gonna have to be ironclad if they want to convince me that what they're doing is a good thing. Which incidentally goes for all strikes of that sort - public transport employees, cops, public hospital nurses, teachers, etc. If you're going to cause such huge inconveniences to local society, your cause had better be damn good.
