Around 50 First Bus cleaners, fuellers and shunters at the Caledonia, Scotstoun, Blantyre and Overtown First Bus depots are involved in the dispute over pay and conditions.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham, said: “First Glasgow’s pay offer across its bus depots is totally unacceptable. The company is making tens of millions in profits and can afford to award the workers with an increase which brings them in line with the drivers’ pay award.
“First Bus can’t operate across Glasgow without our members, and they have Unite’s full support in their fight for better jobs, pay and conditions.”
The ballot currently open, closes on 16 December. If the ballot succeeds, strikes could be possible towards late December, perhaps even during the holiday season.
