Bus drivers will tomorrow decide whether to take industrial action over their timetable row with Government.A work-to-rule and overtime ban are both possibilities, Bermuda Industrial Union President Chris Furbert said yesterday as he scotched Transport Minister Terry Lister’s claim a 21-day strike notice has been issued.Mr Furbert pointed to the BIU’s strained relationship with the Minister, who he criticised for making press statements but failing to communicate with the union.Returning from his vacation yesterday, Mr Furbert said he’d met with Government representatives to discuss concerns over bus schedules and other issues raised by the BIU in a letter at the end of last month.He said Transport Permanent Secretary Ellen-Kate Horton will now make an official response, before members hold a meeting tomorrow night to decide how to proceed. “It could be work-to-rule, or a ban on overtime. Workers will make that decision,” Mr Furbert told a press conference.Bus drivers say proposed timetable alterations would leave them with only two to four weekends off a year, instead of the 12 to 16 they currently get off.They outlined this and a number of other complaints in a letter to the Ministry at the end of last month, warning they would take industrial action if concerns were not addressed by Friday this week; Mr Lister had described this as a strike notice, but the union insists that’s one of many options.Yesterday, Mr Furbert said: “I want to make it crystal clear the BIU will come out and defend its membership when it needs to.”Asked about the union’s relationship with Mr Lister, he replied: “I thought it was getting along pretty good,” before adding Mr Lister had not contacted him on his phone or by e-mail despite making a number of comments about the issue in recent weeks. He said yesterday’s meeting was attended by Ms Horton and ministerial staff but, when asked why Mr Lister wasn’t there, replied: “I thought he was going to be there.”At a press conference on May 12, Mr Lister announced the dispute between the Department of Public Transportation and the BIU would be settled by independent arbitration.Yesterday, Mr Furbert said both sides were close to agreement anyway, and that arbitration wasn’t needed.He said other issues beyond the timetable row include wheelchair access, lieu days and health and safety.The Ministry of Transport did not respond to a request for comment yesterday.
