August 29th - First Bus London Strike Action

I spent the rather wet morning of the 29th of August picturing various picket lines across First Bus London depots. Unite members were on strike over pay and conditions. The drivers across every garage I went to were in high spirits despite the less than ideal rain. Only negatives I had of the day were from a First Bus manager at Westbourne Park buses garage threatening legal action which I found funny. In a statement First Bus said “Our enhanced, above-inflation offer with full back pay for all employees reflects the value we place on our people and our commitment to protecting them from the rising cost of living, even in the challenging financial environment we operate in. We remain ready to meet Unite at any time, as we are committed to finding a resolution and minimising disruption for our passengers and employees alike.
