How many more strikes will it take?

Last time these bus and taxi drivers said they were going on a strike, they did not. So much for all the fuss they made about going on a 48-hour strike. They were all working that day unlike the week before when they didn't and havoc was created. I thought they finally understood they could strike all they want and not being able to change the laws. Now I'm eating my words.

It seems like the goverment has raised the amount of violation tickets for causing accidents and the bus companies, of course, didn't like that. They're trying to have a meeting with the Mayor of Lima to discuss why they're raising the amount of money to be paid. The strike is supposed to begin today for 48 hours. The question is, will they really strike like they did the first time or will they not, like the second time? We shall see.

I personally think this is embarrasing. Instead of striking, they should abide by the law and avoid getting tickets. Period.
