Stagecoach East Midlands (RMT) Strike Calendar
Strike Type: Bus
Latest Stagecoach East Midlands Industrial Action Updates (2)
Stagecoach East Midlands workers at Mansfield and Worksop depots will be balloted on the new pay offer in a referendum. The union suspended the 48 hour strike action planned for 27 November after Stagecoach produced an offer which if accepted would take bus drivers wages to £15 an hour. It is worth 18.7% as part of a multi-year deal for all grades in the company with significant back pay and marks an improvement on previous offers made by the company. RMT is recommending acceptance of the offer and the referendum will close on November 30.
The union is calling on Stagecoach East Midlands to pay their staff a decent wage and provide good working conditions, arguing that low pay is endemic within the bus industry. Bus drivers currently only earn £10.93 an hour when they start the job with it only rising to £12.50 after one year's service.
