2nd week of strike action by @unitetheunion members at @StagecoachYrks has come to an end. The support for the pickets from the public has been amazing. Our members want to get back behind the wheel, but the ball's in MD Phil Medlicott's court. Indefinite action starts 1/2 Jan.

We would have just set off proudly marching behind our brass band, making our way through the streets of #Durham to celebrate the #DurhamMinersGala . Instead, the streets are quiet this year, but we'll be back, louder and stronger, next year. Until then join the Gala online today.

When @arrivayorkshire say that @unitetheunion moved the goalposts, what they actually mean is that they, Arriva themselves, have failed to meet our members' demands. Our members are clear and their action from Monday will be solid. #PayUpArriva
