A pay dispute by around 900 bus drivers in South Yorkshire has ended, lifting the threat of a further two 24 hour strikes, after workers at First South Yorkshire Limited voted to accept a revised pay offer Unite, Britain and Ireland’s largest union, said today (Wednesday 31 July).

Unite regional officer Phil Bown said: “Unite members have voted to accept the company’s revised pay offer. This lifts the threat of strike action and brings this dispute to a close.

“Our members have once again shown what can be achieved by standing together and that it pays to be a member of Unite.”
