Bus Strike - TfL and London Mayor urged to intervene

A snapshot from one of todays picket lines which were in place across London’s 70 bus garages as over 20,000 bus workers working for 18 bus operators take part in a 24 hour strike to end unfair pay disparities across the capital’s bus network Tuesday 13 January 2014. Claiming solid support for the strike the bus workers’ union Unite urged TfL and the mayor of London to ‘bang the bus operators’ heads together’ to get them to sit down collectively with the union to resolve the dispute. Unite claims a refusal by the operators to address pay inequality has led to pay gaps of over £3 an hour for new starters opening up, with pay varying from £9.30 to £12.34 an hour depending on the company. Two thirds of London bus passengers think the capital’s bus drivers should be paid the same according to an independent survey. http://www.unitetheunion.org @Unitetheunion
