A long-running strike by Arriva bus workers in parts of Yorkshire is to be suspended, union officials have said.
The industrial action, which began on 6 June, is set to end on Saturday while union members consider a new pay offer. Unite regional officer Phil Bown said: "Arriva has come forward with an offer which our members will now be balloted on."The suspension of strike action while the ballot was being carried out was "an act of goodwill", he said.The Unite union had previously said some drivers were being forced to use food banks and its members were seeking an "inflation-related pay increase of around 10%".
Arriva made an increased offer of between 8% and 12%, depending on the worker's grade, which the company described as "very fair".
Strikes work.
If strikes work how come anyone is working in England?
