Arriva North West bus strike

[L401CJF]

RE: Arriva North West bus strike
As an ex LS driver, I think its ridiculous. All this being stubborn over an extra 0.4% or whatever it is. I think even the 8.5% offer was very generous given the state the industry is in (and the economy in general). I left the union when I was employed there (and it wasn't just me that did), and I am so glad I got out of the industry when I did.

This must be doing some permanent damage to their patronage now. The longer it goes on, the more people will find alternative transport and never go back to the bus - especially with some of the service alterations in autumn.
