史上最神奇的罢工盘点
Bus drivers in the Japanese city of Okayama are on strike, but this is no ordinary industrial dispute.
日本冈山市的公交司机们正在罢工，不过这并不是普通的劳资纠纷。
They're still working, driving around picking up passengers.
他们仍然在工作着，四处驾驶搭乘乘客。
But they're not doing a key part of the job - accepting fares - as they seek greater job security in the face of stiff competition from a rival company.
但他们并没有在工作中完成关键的一步—收车费—因为面对对手的激烈竞争，他们寻求更多的工作保障。
The method can be questioned - after all, depriving an employer of revenue when it's fighting for its life may not be the most effective way of staying afloat.
不过方法有点欠妥—毕竟，在公司挣扎求生时让他们没有收益恐怕不是长久之道。
But Japan News website says the free rides are helping the company preserve its relationship with the passengers in the face of competition.
不过据日本新闻网站报道，免费搭乘在面对竞争的情形下正帮助公司跟乘客之间保有良好的关系。
