A new management at FACO provoked the strike by dismissing 29 veteran employees on light duty because they could not drive buses due to injuries from accidents. The workers had a contract but the management ignored it. In order to restore the service quickly, condemnation was the most feasible solution. Mayor Wagner also disliked the new FACO management and was quite happy to be rid of them. |
