• The strike at Motherwellbased SBG subsidiary Central Scottish is over after seven weeks.
Drivers voted to accept the phased introduction of a new working week which was due to have been introduced in 1987 by all SBG companies. A 10% wage increase was paid to all drivers in November 1987 to cover the change.
Central was the only SBG company not to implement the revised working week, and it was the management's imposition of the agreement on drivers at East Kilbride which led to strike action. Central's management has agreed to reconsider redundancy notices sent to 65 minibus drivers during the dispute, which is estimated to have cost over £3 million in lost revenue.
