I believe 12% over 12 months, plus time+£2 on overtime is the minimum acceptable now.The problem with getting an enhanced overtime rate is that for as far back as I can remember you always get enough drivers happy to do it for the standard rate, be it through need or greed.
Work to rule would cripple any bus operator and force them to offer an overtime rate, however in my opinion the unions (Unite in my case at Arriva) collude with management to avoid that scenario every happening.
