Comment from DriveTest employee on the strike.

I am a drivetest employee and I can't believe how me and my coworkers are threatened, intimidated, coersed and bribed ($400 cash per week strike pay for 24 hours picketing) into supporting this stupid strike. The union give you ballots to vote on the offer but you have to put your name on the envelope so they know who you are. The USW tells us there are all sort of scary things in the company offer but I read it and it doesn't say what they say it does. Then in the middle of all this they tell me to go vote for the head guy at the USW who is going to lose his job in the coming elections. Is that the real reason we are on strike??? I thought unions were supposed to protect workers...not play games with them.

One more:

I too am an emplyee of Serco. The vote was a joke. One box going from city to city.AH AH. Serco cannot fight employees who do not want to return to work for them.
The union wants us back with MTO and MTO does not want us. So we are really out of luck. I would love to see the offices reopen and to see how many of us would be back to work. I think this is the only way to see if the 78 percent of employees really voted against the contract
