They are very “greedy” as is the BIU and their so-called management (Furbert) in general!! When the tourists stop coming to the Island almost completely (TOO EXPENSIVE) and most of the IB sector leave – then what are the OVERPAID bus drivers going to do???

This has gone way past being a JOKE!!! This union would NOT survive in any other country – in today’s world – and they know it!!

Is the BIU a democratic organization or a dictatorship?
