The drivers didn't even get a say on whether they would accept the offer, the damned unions made the decision for the drivers.

This information has been circulating around the wirral after a few staff members ( names not known ) made it clear to members of the public that the unions were not getting feedback from the drivers.

I feel that the drivers SHOULD be given a chance to have their say even if the union bosses don't always agree otherwise what's the point in having drivers be part of a union if they're not allowed to speak up for themselves.

SHOULD ? Surely that ought to be MUST ! The Unions are there to serve their members in a democratic manner, and to negotiate on their behalf, not to unilaterally make decisions without proper consultation !
