HAVING returned to work only six days previously, after a strike of 17 days, 470 drivers and conductors attached to the Norwich and Cromer depots of the Eastern Counties Omnibus Co., Ltd., again ceased work on Sunday. This action was taken following the company's refusal to reinstate five men who were fined at Cromer as a result of incidents during the earlier strike.
