Approximately 430 Stagecoach bus drivers in western Scotland are initiating a six-week strike due to dissatisfaction with a previously rejected 4% pay offer. The industrial action, announced by the Unite union, will severely impact bus services in Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, and Glasgow. Initial strike dates are May 26, June 2, and June 6, culminating in a six-week walkout starting June 9. Unite's industrial officer Siobhan McCready emphasizes the lack of improvement in pay negotiations for six months, indicating potential long-term disruption of services.
According to Unite industrial officer Siobhan McCready, Stagecoach West Scotland has not revised its pay offer in six months, leading to a widespread strike.
