• London bus workers' leaders have voted to reject a revised pay offer of 8.1% and will ballot 18,500 members on intensified industrial action, probably in the form of further 24hour strikes. The ballot will be held on 2 June, with the first stoppage provisionally planned for next week. About 150 shop stewards voted overwhelmingly to make the strikes weekly rather than fortnightly.
However, London Regional Transport says there is no more money on the table. LRT has indicated that it is willing to negotiate further, but no talks are planned.
