More bus strikes in West Yorkshire tomorrow, this was posted by the mayor of the county:
Here is my statement following news that bus strikes will resume in some parts of the region tomorrow (Wednesday 13th July 2022):
“Like others, I found out about the resumption of the strike on social media just before 6pm this evening. To inform passengers at this late hour is incredibly disappointing and leaves people unable to make alternative plans.
“I am particularly concerned about passengers arriving at a bus stop tomorrow only to find out they have no means of transport, other than walking or getting a taxi.
“Communities across West Yorkshire need an urgent resolution to this dispute. With the potential for strike action to continue indefinitely, it seems sensible to invite ACAS in to help broker an agreement between Arriva and Unite for the benefit of bus users.
“I share the frustrations of those who will find getting to school or work difficult in the coming days. My powers to intervene in this dispute remain limited, as unlike London, services here are controlled by private operators. However, the free bus service I introduced between Wakefield and Pinderfields hospital will continue ensuring people can keep vital hospital appointments.”
