Why do you think the interests of the workforce and the safety of passengers is not important?

I'm pretty sure the driver wasn't drunk. But targeted because he was a union rep.

(or sauce) I think we might be mixing up the case where the breathalyser was found to be faulty yet he was still going to be sacked so his union brothers and sisters supported him.

Our postman from about ten years ago used to get absolutely smashed after his shift. I'd see him walking home after and the walls and fences were the only things keeping him upright. Optimistic as ever
