First Bus Strike Action

Unite the Union has confirmed strikes will take place between the following dates (inclusive) as part of their industrial action in south and west Wales:
30th October - 2nd November
5th - 8th November

Doug Claringbold, Managing Director for First Bus in Cymru, said: “We are disappointed for our customers that the above inflation pay offer we made to our colleagues, including drivers, has been rejected and that they will now face disruption. 

“Throughout this extensive negotiation process, we have listened to Unite the Union member feedback and made a number of offers in order to try and settle this dispute, to ensure customers who rely on our services are not affected by strike action. 

“Unfortunately, rather than work with us to find a resolution, Unite the Union has decided to press ahead with strikes, affecting our customers. Our door remains open to negotiation.

"We will shortly provide further information on our website about which services will be affected."
