Across 3 Newcastle home games too.
I’m not adverse to other depots earning less if it’s based on finance. Retail pay differs depending on the grade and banding of shop you operate in. So if Newcastle brings in more cash than Stockton then I’d support paying more to Newcastle.
If that’s not the case then dodgy grounds but again short sighted from the union, they have to build up passenger confidence and short notice cancellations and strikes will turn people to cars, Ubers and other methods. The only ones who will suffer are those at the bottom rung with no other options

(22 Oct 2021, 4:52 pm)deanmachine Why blame the Union? Why not blame the company for paying their drivers a decent wage? If they did maybe there wouldn't be strike action.

(22 Oct 2021, 4:56 pm)Ambassador A qualified driver at 22k-25k is a decent wage for this region for a manual job. Even newly qualified at £19k relative to the North East isn’t a bad wage. Probably much higher than the majority of passengers you’re about to seriously piss off.
the days of public opinion being behind unions are long long gone

(22 Oct 2021, 6:51 pm)Storx Why would a bus driver give a toss about passenger confidence and whether someone can get somewhere.
It's disgusting one depot is being paid more/less than another depot, borderline illegal. The person does the same job as the other person it's not their fault that one depot makes more money than the other. Absolutely ridiculous view and there's some nonsense posted on here.
Then people wonder on here why bus drivers stick there fingers up when when your taking photos at the side of the road...

(22 Oct 2021, 6:59 pm)Dan Bus drivers should care, because the customers that board their buses are the ones paying their wages…
If they don’t care about passenger confidence and customers being able to make journeys, then they might as well pack up and go home now.
If you’re suggesting otherwise then I’m afraid I think this post is more nonsensical than the one you’re replying to?!

(22 Oct 2021, 3:45 pm)Michael If its every bus (likely to have some still running), using the 20 or 35 wouldn't even get to work for 7am - 20 will arrive just before 7 (then its a 10 min walk)Damn,i feel sorry for you mate
(22 Oct 2021, 5:02 pm)deanmachine I don't work for Stagecoach btw, but the fact is people are leaving the job for other areas at a similar pay rate for less hassle. making the driver shortage worse, lowering the morale of everyone else there. If they're not willing to keep the driver's happy this is going to happen, I really don't understand this sort of attitude towards unions.Classic domino effect

Found this on the Stagecoach site:
Despite the ongoing challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, Stagecoach has already agreed a pay deal with drivers in Sunderland under the GMB Union, which is in line with the deal offered and rejected elsewhere in the North East. Stagecoach has also agreed pay deals with Unite at the majority of its depots across the UK.
