NZ Bus has suspended drivers without pay after they refused to collect fares, in a push for better pay and working conditions.
Thousands of routes will be cancelled, affecting about 70-thousand people.
First Union transport secretary Jared Abbott says it's also hard for the drivers, who won't be paid until a resolution is reached.
He says the people deciding to suspend these drivers aren't showing any empathy with the position they're in.
Jared Abbott hopes a resolution can be reached soon.
