Bus drivers and supervisors who work for First Group and Metrobus are
going on strike tomorrow - at First Group they're striking for 48
hours, at Metrobus for 24 hours. The strike has been called by the
Unite union (the result of the 2007 merger between Amicus and the
T&GWU), who "want a standard £30,000 rate of pay for drivers across
the bus network" (so says the BBC webpage linked to below).

The odd thing is that Unite (formed from the merger of Amicus and the
T&HWU), First London and Transport for London all seem to have different
ideas as to when the strike is taking place.

According to First London, it'll be a 48 hour strike from 00:01 today
(Friday) and affect both sides of their London operation (First
CentreWest and First Capital East).

According to Unite, it's a 24 hour strike from 03:00, affecting Metrobus
(who concur with the timing) and First CentreWest.

And according to TfL, strikes MAY take place on Friday and Saturday,
affecting both Metrobus and First London.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see what actually happens in the morning.

Cheers,
