Arriva Strike

RE: Arriva Strike
No buses running on the run up to Christmas will hurt Arriva's finances hard. If the blurb on the Arriva NW website is to be believed, there isn't much of a gap between what is being offered in terms of a % increase. I suspect though, that said website may be omitting to mention any accompanying whistles, bells & strings attached!

I'm surprised both parties have let it get to this stage, as it's becoming something of a public spat, which does neither the company, or the public any favours.

I'm all in favour of drivers getting a reasonable pay increase, but if this goes on for much longer, the drivers will end up losing more through strike action than they will ever get back through a revised pay offer.
