Strikes planned for Tuesday 12 December have been cancelled by drivers following progressive pay talks with bosses.
There have been a number of strikes in the past few weeks as drivers walked out due to an argument over pay with Arriva bosses.
Following further pay talks today with Unite and GMB, Phil Stone, Managing Director of Arriva North West Bus said:
“Arriva North West has today tabled a new two year pay agreement with the unions, which the unions will now take to a ballot next Monday and Tuesday. We are pleased that the unions have agreed to cancel strike action on Tuesday 12 December.
“We believe our latest offer guaranteeing a two year pay rise represents a fair and decent deal for our drivers and hope the pay offer is accepted by our staff and we can return to delivering the best possible service to our passengers and the local economy.”
