I was informed today that the employees of Acadian Lines might be going on strike as of this coming Friday.
This is the coach line that travels all over the Maritimes. I'm a frequent customer, as I don't have my own vehicle. So I use this bus line to go see J in Moncton, and my parents in the Nish.
A strike at this time is actually stressing me out.
Many people's Christmas plans might be put in Jeopardy if it happens to go on for a long time (if the strike goes forth that is). Including my own.
J is supposed to travel to the homestead where I will be on Christmas day. Usually the buses still run on this day. But the train doesn't. So we had it all figured out he would take the 9am bus from Moncton, and get to my hometown around 1pm.
He has the gifts for my mother, and it is the very first Christmas we will be spending together. So I speak for myself when I say that I really hope that this strike does not happen.
I'm sure there are good reasons to have a strike. But I really hope the employees and the company can come to an agreement before stopping work.
Wish us luck over here, please :)
