GNE had already said to make alternative arrangements in their previous statement and that very few if any services would run.
If GNE don’t have any additional useful information for customers then why repeat the same information again claiming to be an update.
It’s just more evidence they don’t care about customers and just many to make themselves look good for being “transparent” ready for a back patting down the road.
I disagree. They put out on their Social Media that they'll be attending talks facilitated by ACAS on Friday 22nd September, so I think they've put the onus on themselves to provide an update to customers following that, even if nothing has changed.
Buses are the only option for many, so customers will be understandably desperate for information and updates. They're unfortunate to be stuck in the middle, but I hope they're understanding that any action like this is an absolute last resort by Union members. As much as the company are keen to blame Unite, it always takes two to tango, and there'd not be a dispute if there wasn't a bad employer in the mix.
