London bus workers have decided to participate in industrial action between November and December, with thousands walking out as disputes continue with Transport for London (TFL). Strikes commenced on November 22 in the south and west, and will continue for more than a week across this month and December, as Unite the union negotiates on behalf of Metroline and Abellio employees. Almost 1,000 garage members will leave services limited or suspended until December 17.

Bus workers will cause widespread disruption in November and December, as employees of both Abellio and Metroline take action.

The next two days of action following November 22 will follow this weekend from Friday, November 25 to Saturday, November 26.

After then, the remaining strike days are all in December, with Abellio and Metroline action occasionally overlapping in the run up to Christmas.
