First Group USA labour practices 'pernicious'

First Group, who run trains and buses throughout Britain, are criticized in the Observer for their ‘pernicious’ employment practices in North America.

They are said to deny their American drivers sick leave, paid holidays and adequate medical insurance, while refusing to recognize labour unions.

Do they have any answer to these charges? There is no response to the Observer article on their website press release page.
