New Strikes on London Buses

A 48-hour strike on 58 bus routes across east London and the City involving Unite members will commence at 0300 GMT on Sunday in protest at the freezing of drivers' wages. Unite said it would do "what is necessary to secure the decent increases that our members seek".

Day and night services covering Barking, Bow, Leyton, Romford, Upton Park and West Ham are affected.

Unite regional secretary Steve Hart said: "We cannot tolerate pay freezes for these low-paid workers. Our preference is always for negotiation but we take strike action where necessary.
