UK bus workers win strike,
push back company concession demands
John Smith
Bus workers in South Yorkshire in the United Kingdom on the picket line August 9 during their nearly three-week strike against First bus company. The unionists, members of the Transport and General Workers union, returned to work the next day after the company backed down from its demand that workers’ first day’s sick pay would be deducted. The bosses also accepted the union demand for scahedules of no more than eight and a half hours per day, and at least one break every four and a half hours.
