Ring and Ride drivers who work for Greater Manchester Accessible Transport Ltd will be walking out for a week

Drivers who work for Greater Manchester Accessible Transport Ltd — the company which provides Ring and Ride bus services for elderly and disabled passengers — have voted to walk-out for a week.

“Our members have been left with little choice but to take this action in response to such a poor pay offer and we encourage GMAT to come back to the negotiating table with an improved offer to avert strike action,” said Unite regional officer Colin Hayden. The union’s general secretary, Sharon Graham, also accused GMAT ‘of paying poverty wages to drivers performing a vital service’.

A spokesperson for GMAT said: “After the initial pay offer of 4.35 percent was rejected by Union members, GMAT officers met with Unite representatives on May 29 and following discussions an improved offer of 6 percent was put forward. This offer would provide drivers with an hourly rate of £12.20 which is above the real living wage.
