Arriva warns of 'misery' as no end to bus strikes in sight

Arriva has warned of "misery" in the North West after a recent vote from union members on a new pay offer was rejected.

There is no end in sight for Arriva's bus strikes after Tuesday's ballot saw 79% of members vote against the latest pay offer from the bus firm, understood to be in the region of 9.6%. It means the continuous strikes have gone into a 29th day.

The action has been taking place every day since July 20 as drivers and workers fight for a fairer pay deal. During that period there have been no Arriva buses available across the whole of Merseyside except for specific hospital services.
