I totally agree. My point is that in the current economic climate for many occupations - not just the bus industry - there is a race to the bottom when it comes to pay rates and conditions of service.

IMO, those with a "you know what you signed up for and if you don't like it you should find another job" attitude either don't need to work themselves or are living in a bubble of childlike naivete.
