Go North East - 2023 Pay Deal and Industrial Action

Go North East - 2023 Pay Deal and Industrial Action

(18 Oct 2023, 7:11 pm)ArrivaDriver2210 wrote This is a direct quote from the ACAS website, the link is https://www.acas.org.uk/strikes-and-indu...on/strikes

Under Agency workers it states "Agencies must not provide workers to cover work that people taking part in lawful strike action would usually do. Agency workers already in place as part of normal business can carry on their work".

The agency workers were initially route learning some scholars services on day one of the first strike (30/09/2023).

They then operated some scholars services on Monday 02/10/2023.

Unite got in contact with the company and advised them they legally can't use agency staff to cover those scholars services as they were brought in specifically to operate the 351/335/359 services from Saltmeadows until Percy Main is in a position to run the services from there, which is the reason those North Tyneside services are still running. Hope that makes sense!!
Yeah, the ACAS link is the same thing as I wrote above, though I wasn't aware they were running the scholars. I thought that was a mix of scabs and managers.

That's really bad if they have used agency to illegally cover a strike. So not only do they not have a PR person, it sounds like they could also do with a HR person!
