First Bus response to Unite decision call off industrial action at Huddersfield depot

Megan Hope, Operations Director of First Bus North & West Yorkshire, said:

“We are delighted that the generous offer in pay for our Huddersfield drivers has been accepted.

“This avoids damaging industrial action and the severe disruption this would have caused to the daily lives of our customers who rely on the bus to get to work, education and for appointments.

“We continued to talk with Unite and invited representatives to review the structure of the deal available to reach a settlement that would benefit the drivers, whilst not increasing the overall cost.

“The whole team can now focus on continuing to deliver an excellent service throughout the communities we serve in Huddersfield and the surrounding area.”
