'All-out' Arriva bus strikes hit services after pay talks collapse
in Leeds without any bus services for almost a month until it was suspended.that strikes have resumed today, after union members voted to reject the latest pay offer from Arriva.Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Our members have rejected Arriva’s offer – it must come back with an improved one. As part of a global transport giant, it can afford to do so.
Following a ballot over the new pay deal, Unite members recorded a 53.7 per cent vote in favour of rejecting the offer, the union said. Unite regional officer Phil Brown said: “Strike action was suspended in good faith to allow our members to vote on Arriva’s new offer. Since then, Arriva’s management has gone out of its way to destroy any goodwill by interfering during the ballot, which is completely unacceptable.
