Unite members from Go North East will vote on a new pay deal ahead of an indefinite strike scheduled to start on Saturday.
Go North East, part of the Go-Ahead Group, announced on Wednesday that it has tabled a new offer for a 10.3% rise to try to end an industrial dispute that has brought services to a halt in recent weeks.
“We have spent a lot of time listening to colleagues and worked collaboratively with the union to fine-tune our pay proposals. We are proud that this milestone move will see our drivers top the earnings league in the North East. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said last week - before today's offer - that Go North East workers were being given a “raw deal” compared to drivers doing the same job in Greater Manchester.
