Latest Updates (3)
A further strike this week by Stagecoach North East workers has been suspended due to an improved pay offer. Unite, the UK’s leading union, will be balloting the workers on the new offer over the coming days. Strike action scheduled for Thursday 21 August will not take place. If the offer is rejected, indefinite strike action will go ahead from 31 August.
The 600 workers voted to reject a 3.3 per cent increase backdated to April and further 1.7 per cent from January 2026. The offer did not bring the workers pay parity with colleagues doing the same job for Stagecoach in the North West. For example, Stagecoach North East drivers currently only earn £15.01 an hour, whereas North West drivers in Manchester earn £17.54.
