Mayor responds to Arriva and Unite agreement

Reacting to today’s news that Arriva Yorkshire and Unite the union have reached agreement on an offer, Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, said:

“I’m relieved that Arriva and Unite have been able to reach an agreement that can be put to members. I’m sure that this news will also come as a great relief to the thousands of people who use and rely on Arriva services to get to and from work and education every day.

“I hope we can now see services return to normal as quickly as possible from Saturday 2 July.

“I look forward to working with all of the operators, drivers and depot staff to deliver the step-change in services we need to help West Yorkshire’s economy grow.”
