The Arriva bus strike that is affecting people all over Merseyside looks set to head into its third week after talks between the company and unions broke down yesterday.
Drivers from the major bus operator first walked out on July 20 in a row over pay and conditions. Today marks the 14th day of continuous strikes in which no Arriva buses have been available anywhere in Merseyside.
Yesterday, Arriva met with officials from Unite and GMB - the unions representing workers in this dispute - for talks, but once again no agreement was reached as those talks broke down. As things stand the strike will enter its third week tomorrow.
