UK: Go North West launches strike busting operation to enforce fire and rehire contracts against bus drivers
Go North West has launched a major strike breaking operation to force bus drivers at the Queens Road depot in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, to accept a new inferior contract.
The company, which operates 130 buses on 30 routes in Greater Manchester and Warrington, plans to fire the nearly 500 workers and rehire them on inferior terms and conditions including a 10 percent pay cut, the tearing up of the sick pay policy. Their £24,000 annual average wage would be reduced by £2,500. A £5,000 one off payment has been offered in exchange, which would be soon eaten up and isn’t available to all due to exclusion clauses.
