MANCHESTER, England — Bus drivers at Go North West here went on strike Feb. 28 after bosses tried to impose a new contract with longer working hours for the same pay.
The company insisted workers individually sign the contract, bypassing their union, Unite, and threatened to fire workers who refused. Bosses claim that 393 out of the 474 drivers “volunteered” to accept the new terms. The company also plans to reduce sick pay and cut the number of drivers by 10%.
