Now buses could be at risk with Brits already facing rail strikes
Unite said a consultation on proposals to cut a number of bus routes in the capital could lead to hundreds of job losses.
London’s bus drivers fear a loss of overtime and rest day working, which is relied on to boost earnings, said Unite. “The mayor and the London Assembly must firmly reject TfL ’s plans and stand up to the Westminster government.”It comes as Transport Secretary Rail Grant Shapps warned next week's planned rail strike would "endanger the jobs of thousands of workers".
He also stated that the Government plans to introduce legislation to enable the use of agency workers on the railways during industrial action “if the strike drags on”.
