Unite union declares victory as bus strike comes to an end, following drivers' acceptance of pay offer.

The group of workers supporting the striking drivers from National Express West Midlands are celebrating the conclusion of their strike as a success. After voting on Saturday, more than 3,000 members agreed to a pay increase of 16.2 percent, bringing an end to the one-week-long industrial action that had caused disruption throughout the West Midlands.

The proposal includes an increase in pay of 16.2% for one year and enhancements to the drivers' compensation for accidents, as well as an increase in hourly rates for working during the Christmas season. In addition, National Express has promised to adopt the recently agreed terms and conditions with Unite in November 2020, which was a major issue in the conflict.

The strike is scheduled to conclude on Sunday, March 26th after drivers have consented to the payment arrangement.
