This is a classic case of class war in a deep civilized capitalist society : A deterioration in the economic measurements, result and achievement ( question of profitability) forces the capitalists to compete aggressively and ruthlessly against each other; this tales place primarily at the expense of working people.
At the same time, the self-propelled rise in the organic composition of capital forces the capitalists and capitalism for change; reforming the labor market, in the this case it the transport sector. The system is obliged to apply new technology and if necessary repressive means for squeezing the labor-power costs, i.e. reform the labor market in total. What else is left except class struggles for the workers? Even if the trade union, which is politically integrated to the core of system, is involved in it. In the time of generalized crisis and war imposed upon us through the entire capitalistic system , our only hope, strength and exit from this darkened reality is class struggles.
