 Greyhound Lines Summary
There is barely a town or a city in the United States that is not served by Greyhound bus lines, which began operating in 1914 and became a romantic emblem of America, its wide open spaces and its freedom to travel cheaply and explore the horizons of the country.
The well-known slogan "Go Greyhound … and leave the driving to us" rests within our collective consciousness, and the familiar red, white, and blue bus with its painted profile of an outstretched racing dog has become as much a part of popular culture as any single icon of the road.
By the 1970s, Greyhound was a large and diversified company, with holdings in everything from the Armour and Co. meat-packing company to the Dial soap company, Traveller's Express money orders, MCI bus manufacturing company, and even airliner leasing.

 Leave the slave-driving to us   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Greyhound Lines had opened bargaining with the ATU negotiators long before the actual strike by offering what amounted to a 25-30% cut in wages and benefits.
The ranks shut down the bus lines effectively enough that they were able to halt the company's effort to break the labor organization in the Bus Lines Division and ultimately forced them to modify their stance a little (though not much).
Since Greyhound is not merely a bus line, but a conglomerate with revenues from many lines of business, it's capacity to bear losses from a strike is much greater than that of individual strikers and any dependents to bear the loss of wages.

 THE GREAT GREYHOUND STRIKES
Greyhound Bus Lines had experienced strikes before 1983, but they were generally only local strikes with relatively modest impact on the company's labor relations and its financial health.
Greyhound, on the other hand, boasted that it had gained the wage parity it had been seeking, yet at the same time paid the highest wages in the industry.
The ATU pointed out that Greyhound had already advertised that it was hiring permanent striker replacements while it was still in negotiations with the union, and had already hired and trained hundreds of non-union strike breakers well before the strike began.

 deseretnews.com | Greyhound losing business to Latino bus lines
Relatively unknown to the general public, Latino bus lines such as Crucero USA and others that cater to Spanish-speaking immigrants are flourishing in the Phoenix market and in cities throughout the Southwest at a time when ridership on Greyhound, the No. 1 bus carrier, is dwindling.
Except to riders, the arrival of the Latino bus lines has gone largely unnoticed because their terminals are tucked away in tiny storefronts in predominantly Latino neighborhoods, closer to their customers.
Greyhound's ridership through Phoenix also has dropped, from 1.2 million travelers in 2002 to 1.1 million in 2003, the most recent year figures were available.
