Bristol South Labour Party

We're backing Bristol's Bus Drivers First Group made £204.3m in profit last year. Shareholder dividends were up by 45%. Yet, bus drivers have been forced to take industrial action to get the pay rise they deserve. The main sticking point in negotiations is First Group’s refusal to back date their drivers’ pay rise in full. Backdating it would cost around 0.15% of First Groups’s yearly profits. Doing so is clearly affordable and reasonable. Without our bus drivers, Bristol would grind to a halt. These strikes are causing severe disruption to Bristol’s workers. Senior management need to get back to the negotiating table with Unite and give our bus drivers the wages they have earned.

🤝 Pay Bristol’s bus drivers what they deserve
