大曼彻斯特第一班公交车司机接受了20%的加薪, 从2025年4月1日起将每小时工资从15英镑提高到16英镑, 计划到2026年星期天再提高到每小时20英镑, 以结束罢工行动。 First Bus drivers in Greater Manchester have accepted a 20% pay rise, increasing their hourly rate from £15 to £16 effective April 1, 2025, with further hikes planned to reach £20 per hour on Sundays by 2026, ending strike action. 这项交易得到团结工会会员的支持,标志着对该区域以前收入最低的驾驶员而言,这是一项重大改进。 The deal, backed by Unite union members, marks a major improvement for drivers previously the lowest-paid in the region. 虽然 First Bus 和 Metroline 的罢工已被取消，但奥尔德姆、斯托克波特和米德尔顿的 Stagecoach 司机在拒绝薪酬提议后，将在 10 月的多个日期罢工。 While strikes at First Bus and Metroline have been called off, Stagecoach drivers in Oldham, Stockport, and Middleton are set to strike on multiple dates in October after rejecting a pay offer. 团结仍然对谈判持开放态度,但警告说,如果不达成可接受的交易,将进一步采取工业行动。 Unite remains open to negotiations but warned of further industrial action if acceptable deals are not reached. 与此同时,Chorley和Preston的单独罢工威胁在司机接受一年以上6.4%的加薪,将工资提高到每小时16.50英镑后得以避免。 Meanwhile, a separate strike threat in Chorley and Preston was averted after drivers accepted a 6.4% raise over one year, raising wages to £16.50 per hour.
