Luxembourg

Not happy? Grow a beard.

There are a lot of things you could do to protest against your working conditions- demonstrate, go on strike. But growing a beard?

Growing a beard is the latest way to demonstrate it seems after disgruntled bus drivers in Luxembourg laid down their razors in protest over working conditions.

Members of the Association des chauffeurs d'autobus privés announced their dissatisfaction this week, saying they would not take it on the chin.

In protest the private bus drivers have launched operation beard, a campaign in which members have agreed to grow beards, where possible, or wear a bracelet of solidarity for an unlimited period.

The bristly action is part of an effort to show passengers of private bus services that they are not happy with their working conditions.
