I pay 415 SEK every month to Kommunal, a union that is at the moment having a bus strike in Stockholm and other parts of Sweden. I do not support it!
Okay, certain demands I think are justifiable. And if the strike was only about those I would probably support it. But the strike is also about the bus drivers' pay check. And the fact is that bus drivers make more money than nurses. Nurses that have to spend three years in University, while you can become a bus driver in a heart beat.
And they also make more money than me. But Kommunal is not having a strike on my account. Cant help thinking that it's probably because I work in a female dominated work area, while bus drivers most often are men.

The authorities must do something if it is a problem involving a lot of people. I feel that both the sides should try to see their best about how far they can accommodate. Please do it soon. The commuters of Stockholm are suffering and they are also paying ! I found so many mothers with little children are walking a long distance. Why ? Why are the commuters supposed to take all the heat? Are they not paying for the bus driver's salaries ? Are they not contributing to the profit of the authority ?
