why are the  bus drivers the BAD GUYS in this strike, last week junior doctors strike 175,000 appointments cancelled, AMBULANCE strike thousands of non urgent calls make your own way, TEACHERS STRIKE didn't that affect children's education.
2020 who kept the NHS MOVING, how many drivers died all forgotten.

Because you have had (and rejected) a 14.3% pay deal.

why please explain, i didnt see anything wrong with there actions, i saw the police taking the piss

Which police?
It is illegal for pickets to block access to a site for vehicular access. It is illegal to bully working staff, one Wolverhampton driver had coffee thrown over her yesterday. It is illegal to picket anywhere other than you own place of work. There were bus spotters in the picket line at Coventry

Where is the mentality in that?! I'm surprised they wasn't asked to leave or escorted away

Its been very civilised affair down here at West Bromwich garage, The MD of NX David Bradford  came down to talk to drivers but mainly listen to our concerns  going forwards, The lack of restrooms he clearly understood, lack of communications is a major issue at NX that was made abundantly clear,  far too many issues to list but credit to him David spent a good 45 minutes with the drivers.
May be going forward there should be more meetings with boardroom members  and its drivers and may be avoid this type of action in future, i blame the predecessors  for a lot the mess we are in.

Lack of rest rooms how is that a NX issue surely if a driver on the 74 needed toilet surely there are toilets at the bus stations which come under TFWM responsibility, but if it is on routes then it would be relevant council such as Dudley, Sandwell,  Walsall and Birmingham council.

But a lot of public toilets have closed due anti social behaviour such as people using them for other things than they was used for.

Adequate facilities including restrooms for employees is a NX issue. It is specifically cited in the letter, embedded in this tweet, to drivers from management:

This is just me speculating but I'm sure everything will be back to normal from next week, if they start voting from tomorrow and announce the result on Sunday, for a Monday start

Edit: Looks like I wasn't too far off.
