Bus workers in Dundee return to the picket lines after rejecting latest pay offer

BUS workers at Xplore Dundee returned to the picket lines this weekend after rejecting the latest pay offer.

Unite members at the city’s private monopoly bus operator, which is owned by the McGills group, walked out earlier this month in a bitter dispute over pay, terms and conditions.

Workers were left infuriated not only by a sub-inflation 7 per cent pay offer, continued restrictions to sick pay, and being owed hundreds of days in annual leave by bosses.
