Cardiff Bus (UNITE) Strike Calendar
Strike Type: Bus
Latest Cardiff Bus Industrial Action Updates (2)
Over 500 Cardiff Bus drivers, engineers, cleaners, and other staff are balloting for strike action after 11 workers had their pay stopped for refusing to drive in extreme heat during the summer heatwave.
The union is seeking an agreement on an adverse temperature policy defining unsafe working conditions, particularly regarding high in-cab temperatures. The ballot opens on 14 October and closes on 4 November.
Strike action by 450 Unite members at Cardiff City Transport Services Ltd, more commonly known as Cardiff Bus, has been suspended to allow them to vote on an improved offer. Workers at the firm including drivers were set to strike from Sunday 17 August until the morning of Sunday 7 September in an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions. Staff at publicly-owned Cardiff Bus had previously rejected an offer which left driver pay below levels in the rest of the UK, while timetabling issues had left workers unable to take proper breaks and workers also had unsatisfactory sickness terms. Cardiff Bus has now put forward an improved pay offer to Unite members, as well as proposing changes to conditions including longer breaks and improved sickness terms. All strike dates are currently on hold, pending the outcome of the ballot.
