MANCHESTER, England — Determined to win further support for their fight, hundreds of striking bus drivers at Go North West and their supporters gathered at the Queen’s Road depot in north Manchester April 3 to mark five weeks on the picket line.
Joined by trade unionists and others, the drivers rallied nearby before marching through the area. A caravan of two dozen cars came from the south of the city decked out in Unite union flags.
“Day 35 of the strike. Look around you,” Colin Hayden, Unite union branch chairman, told the crowd. “We’re solid. Our members are solid. We are out and we are staying out.”
