Doncaster bus strike: Drivers announce new walk-out
The long running bus dispute is being stepped up by Doncaster drivers
Doncaster’s long running bus strike is set to be stepped up again as drivers escalate action, with another walk-out called.
Drivers have announced they will walk out on May 1 in addition to previously announced strike dates of April 27 and 29, meaning three days of action next week.
Employees at First Doncaster are also on strike today, with services severely disrupted by the action, which began on March 28.
Since then, a number of one-day walkouts have been held, with bosses running a skeleton service across the city.
The bitter dispute centres around Doncaster drivers calling for pay parity with colleagues in Sheffield who earn more for doing the same job.
First has previously said it will do all it can to keep services running during the strike.
