London bus workers to stage strikes

 

According to Press TV, the strikes have been organized by Unite union and are slated for February 5, 13 and 16.

They come as part of a long-running campaign for a single deal covering their pay as well as working conditions.

The walkout is expected to cause travel chaos for commuters, shoppers and visitors to London.

British media quoted Unite regional officer Wayne King as saying “We firmly believe that there is a simple solution to be had but sadly the refusal by the operators to engage in collective talks is risking the inevitable disruption that strike action will bring to passengers.”

King reiterated “We urge London’s bus operators to see sense and collectively engage in talks to give London’s bus workers a fair deal.”

Earlier this month, some 27,000 bus workers walked out for better pay and working conditions.

The strike led to widespread disruption to bus services.
