More than 1,300 drivers across five depots could walk out, affecting bus services, next month.
Bus drivers say they stand to lose "hundreds of pounds" after Go North East proposed changes to their pay and conditions.
Trade union Unite said passengers could face "severe disruption" as drivers are being balloted on strike action.The company, which describes itself as the biggest bus operator in north-east England, has proposed to "standardise" some conditions. But drivers said they were effectively "funding our own pay rise and working more hours for less pay".One worker, who wishes not to be named, said they felt they were "giving up almost all of our work conditions and agreements".
