A new KMB drivers group, the Monthly-Paid Bus Drivers' Alliance, has called off its threat of industrial action following a late-night meeting with KMB management at the Kowloon Bay Bus Depot.
The group's founder, Yip Wai-lam, said she was was happy with the bus company's preliminary response to its demands which included giving drivers more of a voice, making sure they were better treated by passengers, and an end to the annual assessment. She said she believed the company had been sincere and apologised for any inconvenience to the public.
On Saturday night, Ms Yip called a wildcat four-hour strike to demand basic monthly salaries be increased to 18-thousand dollars. But only a few drivers answered her call.
