Fresh London bus strikes are postponed – what we know

London Unite Arriva

More than 1,500 Arriva North London bus drivers have suspended planned strike action after receiving a new offer on working conditions during extreme heat.
Unite members took strike action on Friday and Tuesday, protesting against bus cab temperatures reaching over 40C due to a lack of proper air conditioning.
Strikes scheduled from Wednesday to Friday were put on hold to allow drivers across eight London garages to ballot on the fresh proposal.
Unite warned that industrial action will resume on Tuesday 25 August if members vote to reject the company's latest offer.
Arriva and Transport for London stated they are investing in upgraded cooling systems and fleet improvements to address high temperatures in driver cabs.
