‘OUR STRUGGLE is getting stronger, not weaker. There is a deep determination amongst the membership. The more mischief from management, the more they try to demonise us and the union, the stronger it makes us,’ striking bus driver and Unite member Tom Meldon said on the picket line at Fulwell Garage in Twickenham yesterday.
Drivers employed by the French government-owned bus privateer RATP at five London garages were taking their ninth day of strike action against £2,500 pay cuts yesterday and are jubilant that colleagues from two more garages will be joining them on their tenth day of strike action next Thursday.

âTHE SUPPORT has been amazing,â striker Peter Gleaves told News Line at the Queens Road Depot in Manchester yesterday, where Go North West bus drivers have entered their second week of strike action against fire and rehire.
âObviously we have been out for a week, more than a week … but what is so amazing is moral is so massively high. People are changing, they are not working they are coming out now and the support has been ongoing.
