Welcome to the General Union Discussions Forum

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Welcome to the General Union Discussions area of London Bus Forums – your space to talk openly about union matters, strikes, working conditions, rosters, pay, agreements, and experiences from the front line.

This section is open to all UK bus workers, whether you're in London or beyond. It doesn't matter which company you work for – Stagecoach, Arriva, Go-Ahead, First, Metroline, RATP, or any other operator. If it affects your workplace or your union, it belongs here.

Use this forum to:​

• Share info about planned or ongoing strike action
• Discuss pay offers, agreements, and union negotiations
• Talk about issues like holiday policies, rosters, and working hours
• Get advice or insight from other drivers and union members
