WORKERS at First Bus Aberdeen have overwhelmingly backed an above-inflation pay deal negotiated by their union Unite.

Under the two-year deal drivers with a Passenger Carrying Vehicle licence will now be paid £14 per hour after one year.

Administrative staff wages will see a flat-rate increase of £1,007, or have their wages boosted by 5.2 per cent backdated to August 2024 with a further 2.2 per cent the following year, whichever is greater.
