Workers Revolutionary Party Confident bus strikers on the picket line at Fulwell garage yesterday morning âESCALATE the action â national strike now!â bus workers told News Line yesterday on the first day of another two days of strike action by drivers employed by bus privateer RATP across eight London garages, continuing today. Drivers employed by the French government-owned RATP came out on three days of strike action last week and their union, Unite, has also named three Wednesdays as strike days later this month. At Shepherdâs Bush Bus Garage, Unite rep Abdul Hanafi said: âThe amount they are trying to take from us is £2,500. We told them donât touch it, we want to improve our terms and conditions, not worsen them. Itâs not just RATP. All the private companies are thinking the same way.
