I think the danger of prolonged strikes is that many marginally profitably route will become unprofitable, and will almost certainly be withdrawn by Arriva - the consequence being a lot of lost jobs.

Whilst I have some sympathy with the drivers' cause, my advice would be to take what you can while you can. Next year you might not have a job with Arriva, and consider - will you get better pay from a new operator (probably operating fewer / less frequent services ) ??

Principles are fine - but they don't pay the food & housing bills, etc.

exactly who wants to lose a job just before christmas or any time,is there a hidden agenda from these union reps, jeremy corbyn won `t pay your wages or mortgage,and if Stagecoach get any of Arriva`s Liverpool work they will pay there rate which is a good £2 less per hour,where`s the gain in that
