First Bus accused of undermining strike
Unite flags

PRIVATEER bus operator First Bus has been accused of undermining a two-month strike by workers fighting for the Real Living Wage – while declaring that it supports their claim for one.

First South Yorkshire employs contractor Bidvest Noonan to clean and refuel buses at its Olive Grove depot in Sheffield in South Yorkshire.

Unite says the Bidvest workers are paid the minimum wage of £11.44 an hour and are on strike for the Real Living Wage of £13.85 an hour.
