Two hundred bus drivers at the Smithfield bus depot, walked off the job today to protest against what is said to be unsafe Covid-19 working conditions.
Drivers stopped work indefinitely Thursday afternoon at the depot which is at the centre of the city’s Western outbreak.
They are calling for rapid antigen testing to be rolled out urgently after the Transport Workers’ Union claimed Transit Systems, the depot's operator, failed to alert workers that a driver had tested positive until the union made contact on Thursday morning.
