Bus drivers in Mallorca will strike on Monday (October 28), the Balearic Government having set a 60% minimum service level for TIB buses. Palma EMT buses are expected to operate at 50%, but with 60% service for school routes at peak times and 100% on hospital routes.

Why on earth are they allowed to retire early when there is a clear shortage of bus drivers and buses. In the UK , many bus drivers retired at 65, but now work part time after being encouraged by the previous Conservative government to consider returning after being offered attractive pay and no further National Insurance contributions as a package if they worked 10 hours minimum per week. The result is that we have happy and active men and women drivers keeping active and serving their communities and providing a bus every 10 minutes in many cases. A win for everyone rather than complaining and going on strike all the time.
