London Bus Strike Solid

Britain's largest union, Unite warned of further strike action as bus workers in over 70 garages across the capital went on strike Friday over a refusal by bus operators and Transport for London (TfL) to award an Olympic payment. Strike action was solid across 17 London bus operators, as Unite members mounted picket lines across the capital bringing buses to a standstill and causing widespread disruption. Unite warned that further strike action would be bigger as it vowed to appeal an 'anti-democratic' court injunction preventing bus workers in three companies taking part in today's action. Bus workers are furious at TfL's and the bus operators' continued refusal to bring them in line with every other London transport worker and reward them for the massive increase in workload during the Olympics. http://www.unitetheunion.org
