I've said it many times, the money you lose striking, you never recover. There are far more effective ways of making your point, many of which won't involve alienating the public.
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
The drivers got 16.2% - a hell of a pay rise: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-65076481
The fare increases to pay for it are going to put people off.
More drivers are going on strike: https://rugbyobserver.co.uk/news/bus...drivers-45953/
I was reminded only today by what someone said of the position in the former Soviet Union.
You recall that it was communist policy there that teachers, scientists, doctors, engineers were to be payed, and were payed, less than people driving buses, digging the road etc. This person, a doctor, was saying when she visited the SU in the 1970s, the doctors there could only afford to rent the smallest flats, and many had to give up their profession to become janitors and park wardens.

Stagecoach drivers are striking next week, which conveniently coinsides with the chaos of the 1st week of the new school year: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...ejected-46127/
The strike's been called off for the time being: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-66711397
