Bus drivers announce more one-day strikes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Travellers face further disruption in the capital with two more one-day bus strikes announced by the Transport and General Workers' Union. The first stoppage will be next Monday, 26 April and the second on Monday 10 May. In addition, the union said it was stepping up non-strike action and lobbying Parliament.
The TGWU is objecting to what it sees as London Bus's imposition of wage-cuts and longer hours in preparation for privatisation and its refusal to give assurances on the future of staff pensions.
