My story in France #2 - Bus Strike
 |
| Don't get deceive with the big date.... "Pour une duree indeterminee" means bus strike will continue for unlimited time until further notice...... |
It seem like I will
write blog because my feeling is very up or very down....
and
now my feeling is SUPER ANGRY...
The
most annoying thing is even you are angry, you can't do anything...
WTF....(
throw out all bad words in different languages)
Social
movement is quite often happened in Europe countries.
To
be honest, it's very rare happen in Malaysia, or even in Asia countries.
.
There
are many social movement happened all the year,
with different requests,
manifestation and demand.
Seriously
I not really care about the social movement throughout the period I stay in
Europe...
However,
this time, it's affect my daily life routine.
Let’s me tell you the
story from the beginning.
The bus operator in my town started social movement since last Tuesday
(20.05.2014)
All buses in the town
stop giving the service.
Those workers from
bus operator are unhappy with the wages they had now and their working condition
& benefits.
To solve these
problems, they need to have discussion with the representative union in town.
OK, I understand the
purpose of this social movement.
(In Europe especially in France, employee is
always have more power than the employer)
In fact, if this kind
of thing happens in my country,
employee sure can’t get any benefits, in reverse,
the employer can deduct the salary of employee because of not working.
I don’t mind if there
is no bus for one day
(My attitude is going to look like a French, OMG!)
BUT, I’m really unhappy
as there are going to have no buses at all for 2 weeks
(or even longer, until
they are happy with their benefits).
Hey, come on, not all
the workers are involved in social movement.
At least given some minimum
service, provide some buses during peak hours
(especially the time to go work/school
and back to work/school).
The recent weather is
bad and unpredictable, It’s always have sudden rain.
Walking under rain~~
Oh, it’s awful….
Because of demanding
the benefits of 300++ worker,
they already affect at least the life of 90000
passengers.
Those bus daily users need to ask from their colleagues or friends for carpooling,
or walking a certain distance.
Seriously, French
people need better understanding and education about social movement.
Their reactions
toward this kind of bus strike are
“oh, that normal”
“2 weeks consider
normal”
“That’s France”
I’m just a foreigner.
If the local take this thing easily,
what's the point for a foreigner to complain???
Hmmmm~~~~
So, even I’m angry, unhappy,
but still I can’t do anything..
Hope that the bus
strike will over very soon…
*Anyway, before
ending my mumbling post, I still appreciate there are private company(next to my work place) free shuttle bus that
save me from walking for some distance to work….(but I still need to walk around 5km and waste 50 minutes to and back from work per day)
*Now I'm envy to those people who have bicycle...How I wish I have bicycle now~~~
Before the end of spring, the beginning of summer....
SUMMER IS COMING!!!!!!
