Ah yes, they must be in pristine condition having operated along the salubrious, anti-social behaviour-free Dudley Road day and night. Would be a shame to ruin them.

I'm sure what bus is running in what route isn't the priority right now.

As mentioned in the CV Garage thread, bus have been prevented from leaving the garage.

The same happened yesterday at YW and PB with police attending both garages.

It certainly appears that industrial action is being stepped up to prevent buses leaving for limited service.

Why do they? Picketers are exercising their right to peaceful protest and this involves being in a position that impedes buses leaving. The coverage shows them walking on the apron areas which they are entitled to do. There are no jaywalking laws in this country so they are doing nothing illegal.

As I've mentioned before, this is happening on private property and only the landowners can trespass picketers which is a civil matter. Police will be there to prevent a breach of the peace or to move picketers if it becomes aggravated trespass where people are prevented from performing their legitimate duties, ONLY if reported by those affected to the police, i.e. NX or the landowner.

There's a moral and a legal discussion and the picketers are doing nothing illegal at this point.

No. Anyone other than police going hands-on to remove them would be committing assault and potentially arrested. Also, why would staff attempt to remove them? See below.

So is it one or the other?  Unite doesn't mention 'years of anger and frustrations with management'. Sounds like a bit of a weak argument being used behind the fact the members have rejected a straight 14.3%!?
