BUS workers have vowed to take on private operators over rest breaks and work towards national agreed standards across the industry.
Two motions were unanimously passed today at the RMT union’s AGM in Hull, seeking to change the law on driving hours and create a standard set of terms and conditions for all bus workers regardless of which company they work for.
The union wants to amend the law to make it a requirement for bus drivers to take a break after five-and-a-half hours of duty.
