Sunderland Stagecoach Strike
Sunderland Stagecoach Strike
(06 Nov 2022, 6:14 pm)Chris 1 I’m sure nurses got a minimum of £1,400 depending on their band, rather than 3%. They were never going to get the 15% or whatever it was they were asking.I doubt that the Stagecoach operation in Sunderland is particularly profitable!!!!!
Good luck to the drivers. Manchester; Merseyside and Yorkshire all spring to mind as having decent, in my opinion, settlements recently, for one of the supposed more profitable parts of the Stagecoach bus empire I don’t think asking for £13-£14 an hour is too outlandish.

Whilst Busways Travel Services Ltd accounts always showed a very healthy profit, I suspect that routes like the 39/40 in Newcastle generated much of the profit.

I think parity with other depots is a problem as well. Stagecoach Sunderland drivers would still be behind the drivers at Walkergate even if they accepted this current deal, which is ridiculous as the cost of living is identical in either area. Likewise Arriva drivers in the North East are way behind (almost £2.50/hr) what their compatriots in Liverpool earn, again despite no difference in the cost of living stakes.

This is fine though because in 2017, Sunderland accepted extra holiday allowance over a pay rise. Go figure.

Drivers don't get paid when they're on strike do they?
I wonder at what point they would have been better off financially taking the lower offer than losing money striking.

(07 Nov 2022, 12:40 pm)Chris 1 Unite drivers were getting £70 per day from the union in strikes elsewhere recently, not sure what GMB members get.
(06 Nov 2022, 9:11 pm)Lollist Tbh bus drivers need to get much much higher pay like 20/22 pound a hour at starting rate because the lives that they have to keep safe and just the general job is hard.Husband would forget that he hates driving for that money.
