| Message | Our only reservation here is how effective a far flung sympathy strike, like for instance if bus workers go on strike to support textile workers in another wilayah. A sympathy strike is excellent for getting one employer to lean on another, but what influence does a bus authority have over a textile factory on the other side of the country? |

| Message | Probably none, which is why we must ask why the bus union would walk out of their jobs, taking money from their own pockets and create bad relations between their employer and themselves. If a union wants to do all this then their is a high likelihood that there is a need to create public awareness or something similar in respect to the textile strike. |
