More London bus strikes planned as pay talks fail
BUS drivers at London United will stage more days of strike action, the Unite union said today, after talks failed to deliver an agreement on pay and conditions.
Drivers based at seven garages in west and south-west London operated by the subsidiary of French-owned transport transnational RATP will walk out on April 23 and 26 and May 7.
The long-running dispute centres on the firm’s failure to settle Unite’s 2019 and 2020 pay claims, which the union says boils down to an attempt by RATP to boost profits at its workers’ expense — despite a global turnover in excess of €5 billion (£4.3bn).
