Arriva has been accused of a 'misguided attack on workers' after the company said it would be removing days of annual leave for workers who took part in successful strike action this summer.
Arriva bus drivers across Merseyside and the north west walked out on strike for 29 days over the summer in a fight for better pay and conditions to help them tackle the cost of living crisis. It meant that no Arriva services were available anywhere in our region for close to a month.
Finally, after several rounds of talks, the major transport operator agreed to offer drivers the 11.1% pay rise they had been fighting for and the strikes were called off. Drivers returned to the roads on August 18.
