WARRINGTON Borough Council Leader Terry O’Neill has expressed his delight that the impending industrial action at independent bus company Network Warrington has been cancelled.
Cllr O’Neill said: “We’re really pleased that the threatened strikes at Network Warrington have been averted.
“Acas, the independent board of Network Warrington and the unions worked hard to present fair proposals to the workforce in the context of the company’s difficult financial situation, and it’s good that an agreement has been reached.
“Obviously it’s great news for Warrington that the town won’t now experience the disruption that would have resulted.”
There had been a succession of one-day strikes at Network Warrington, on Sunday, September 29, Monday 7 and Tuesday 15 October.
Additional one-day strikes scheduled for October 23 and 31 but were suspended pending negotiations, and further days of bus strike action were planned for November 13, 14 and 15 – but these will not now go ahead.
