Bus strikes back on after latest pay offer rejected
The Chronicle
|August 14, 2025
THE Stagecoach summer bus strikes in Newcastle are back on, with 600 workers taking industrial action.
Staff based at depots in Walkergate and Slatyford rejected the latest pay offer, which the Unite union says “did not bring workers pay parity with colleagues elsewhere in the UK”
The offered 5% pay rise, split over two years, was deemed not good enough by Stagecoach staff, with Unite giving the example that “Stagecoach North East drivers currently earn £15.01 an hour, but North West drivers in Manchester earn £17.54”.
The strike, set to take place on August 18 and 21, will include both drivers and engineers, and Unite has promised that action will intensify if the dispute is not resolved.
