Around 1,000 people are going on strikes at bus garages in London
Members of Unite are walking out at garages including Battersea and Twickenham in a row over pay. Nine more days of strike action are planned. Guy Langston, from Unite, says workers are struggling to “pay even for the basics”. A spokesperson for Abellio says: “We are very disappointed that representatives of Unite the
Union decided to walk out of talks on 21 November. We felt that
negotiations had been productive as we had made an above-inflation pay offer as
well as improved terms and conditions in line with Unite the Union requests. In
recognition of the cost of living crisis, we offered to introduce the pay deal
in November, well ahead of the January 2023 deadline for a new deal, ensuring
that drivers benefited from increased rates as soon as possible. It is also
frustrating that we have so far had no response from Unite the Union following
our invitation to meet for talks hosted by Acas, the conciliation and arbitration
service.”
