On August 19 and 20 Members of Unite employed by London United will walk out, the same days as strikes on London Underground and railways. About one-thousand-six-hundred London bus drivers are set to take strike action later this month in a dispute over pay.
According
to report, the union said strike action was a result of the company offering a
pay increase of 3.6% in 2022 and 4.2% next year, which it described as a real
terms pay cut because of the soaring rate of inflation.
Unite
general secretary Sharon Graham said: “The parent company RATP is fabulously
wealthy and it can fully afford to pay our members a decent wage increase.
“Unite’s
members play a crucial role in keeping London moving and they are not going to
accept seeing their pay constantly eroded.
“Unite
does what it says on the trade union tin and always defends the jobs, pay and
conditions of its members.
“Our
members at London United will receive the union’s complete support until this
dispute is resolved and a fair pay offer secured.”
