Hamilton bus drivers strike for living wage

From Morning Report, 6:45 am on 14 May 2018

There'll be disruption for bus commuters in Hamilton this morning with drivers walking off the job from 7:30am to 9:30am as they argue for a living wage. About half Hamilton's bus drivers are union members and will be taking part in the industrial action. School buses aren't affected but more than 20 scheduled bus services have been cancelled. Jarad Abbott is from First Union. He tells Susie Ferguson the drivers would be happy to continue negotiations.
