Those wanting to travel by bus this weekend can expect chaos as First Bus drivers go on strike.
From Sunday, June 18, a planned industrial action will take place and 800 workers are expected to walk out. Bus users can expect a limit service as 57 routes will be impacted.
It comes as staff want to strike over company’s refusal to move pay anniversary date back to normal. Unite members agreed during the pandemic to change their anniversary pay date to October to assist the company financially. First West Yorkshire has refused to move the date back to April however, meaning workers have been left struggling during the cost-of-living crisis and will not receive a much needed pay increase until October at the earliest.
