Strikes could force First Bus off the road in Scotland

Unite the union has confirmed that Bidvest Noonan workers contracted to clean and refuel buses for First Bus in Glasgow and Aberdeen are set to strike in a dispute over pay.

More than 100 cleaners, fuellers and shunters contracted to work in First Glasgow and First Aberdeen bus depots are striking after previously rejecting a 2% pay offer backdated to 2022 at a time when RPI inflation has hit 13.4%.

Wages at the company start at £9.62 per hour, far below the £10.42 per hour that will be the national minimum wage from April.
