They probably aren't happy over at Nexus HQ. If you rely on a secured service, you should contact them directly to raise your concerns. They're contracted to fulfil a service, and at the moment, they're not doing that.

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!!
