There are no signs of a long-running walk-out of bus drivers across Merseyside coming to an end.
The all-out strike of Arriva bus drivers will continue into its 21st day tomorrow, with no current prospect of a breakthrough. Both sides have today confirmed to the Echo that no agreement has been reached and no new talks appear to be imminent.
Talks between Arriva and the Unite and GMB unions broke down last week. The bus operator said it was 'very disappointed' that the unions walked away, but a Unite source said the latest offer represented 'a new hat on an old offer, which did not impress the members.'
