School bus system faces more strike action

MORE disruption is ahead for school students as drivers from Sunshine Coast-based Sunbus plan to strike for four hours on Friday.

Dozens of Sunshine Coast schools are expected to be affected by the strike from 4am to 8am.

The action follows a 28-hour stoppage by Veolia Transport bus drivers last week that impacted 67 schools in Redlands and Brisbane.

The Sunbus action comes as the Transport Workers Union today announces monthly demonstrations by drivers against Translink.

Driver Gary Dickfos said demonstrations at Translink headquarters would begin on September 1 to lobby the agency over its "bungled contracting system".
