First West (UNITE) Strike Calendar
Strike Type: Bus
Latest Updates (2)
Bristol will again be brought to a standstill next month as over 600 drivers at First West of England's City Line have voted to take two weeks of fresh strike action. The drivers, members of Unite, are currently undertaking a four-day strike, the last day of which is tomorrow (19 September), over pay. After talks broke down between First West of England, part of First Bus, and the union, workers from the affected depots, Lawrence Hill and Hengrove, will now be walking out from 1 to 14 October. Given the number of drivers involved and the length of the second wave of strikes, this will be extremely disruptive with many cancellations and delays to services expected.
Strikes taking place next week by 600 bus drivers at First West of England's City Line will go ahead next week, causing severe disruption to services in inner-city Bristol and the surrounding area. The drivers, members of Unite, operate out of the Lawrence Hill and Hengrove Bus depots. These depots serve inner-city bus routes in the city as well as Bristol Airport, the local universities and Amazon's Bristol warehouse.
