Industrial Action from Monday 8 November 2021 across Teesside and Hartlepool

04 Nov 2021

Stagecoach has received notification from the Unite trade union of their intention to proceed with industrial action. We have been notified the dates of strike action will be 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 30 November, and 2, 4 December 2021.

This strike action will affect all local bus services operated by our Teesside and Hartlepool depots. Regrettably, we will be unable to provide any local bus services from these depots on the days of the above strike action.

Tees Flex will also not operate on these days.

Customers are advised that all Stagecoach pre-paid customer tickets will be accepted for travel on local buses operated by Arriva in the affected areas during the dates of strike action.

In addition to the strike action, there will also be an overtime ban in place for non-strike days. As such, we will also need to temporarily reduce our timetables in a number of areas to try to mitigate this difficulty. Reduced timetables will therefore run on 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29 November and 1, 3 December 2021. Please click here to view the special timetables that will be in operation on these reduced service dates in Teesside and Hartlepool.

We have made what we consider to be a fair offer to Unite regarding the pay dispute, and we remain committed to working constructively with officials to deliver pay proposals that are fair to our people, and which also ensure the long-term sustainability of the bus network for local communities.

Stagecoach apologise for any inconvenience this industrial action may cause.
