Jeepney drivers strike over continued unjust arrests

It is more fun criticizing

From Inquirer News | December 2, 2013

The FEDOJAP, headed by Zenaida Maranan went on strike early this morning to protest the alleged "unreasonable apprehensions by traffic enforces in Manila"  Some 3000 to 4000 units were involved in the protest action.  She said that the protest will continue because she felt that Vice Mayor Isko Moreno does not have anything concrete to solve the issue.

Really, can the VM solve the problem.

It is Christmas time, and for the traffic enforcer, who does not get much anyway to arrest, and make hay while he may.  What else is new?  When the NPA still roamed freely, the Sparrow attacks had a way of stopping this banal act dead on its tracks.

But there should be a better way because the drivers are shooting themselves in the foot and hare hurting their customers;  damned if they do, damned if they dont.
