First Bus Doncaster (UNITE) Strike Calendar

Bus services in Doncaster will be disrupted over the coming weeks, as over 230 drivers have overwhelmingly voted to take industrial action over pay. Doncaster drivers at First South Yorkshire, part of First Group, have rejected an offer from their employer as this does not give them pay parity with those doing the same job at First in Sheffield, just over 20 miles away.

Strikes will take place on 28 and 30 March and 7, 22 and 24 April. Some of these dates coincide with the Easter break as well as events at Doncaster Racecourse including the opener of the British flat racing season the William Hill Lincoln Handicap on 28 March.
