Arriva Bus strike to go into a 4th week affecting services from Selby to York and Leeds
Arriva Yorkshire says it’s disappointed for all customers to confirm that the strike will be entering a fourth week, with no date yet for services being resumed.
It added: “We remain committed to getting our drivers back to work and buses back on the road as soon as possible. We once again ask the union to call off the action and let our people vote on the latest pay offer.”
ON June 15th Arriva said the new offer “represents an increase of between 8.2% and 12.7% and raises the top rate to £13.15 per hour as well as increasing back pay.”
Once again this Saturday a combination of a train and bus strike will leave the Selby District cut off from public transport with Taxi services very busy again.
Arriva North East bus services that operate into North Yorkshire are not affected by strike action.
Unite, the union involved, said earlier in the week that it is “committed to negotiating to try and bring this dispute to an end.”
