Bus drivers across north London and Essex are set to strike for four days starting Tuesday, demanding full air conditioning in their cabs after enduring scorching temperatures often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. With 1,500 Unite union members involved, the walkouts—scheduled over eleven dates through October—are a last resort after rejected offers failed to address safety and health concerns. Drivers fear heatstroke and dangerous conditions, while Arriva insists on staff and passenger wellbeing, working with TfL to manage disruptions. Union leader Sharon Graham warns strikes will continue until demands are met, emphasizing Arriva’s financial ability to act—this isn’t just about comfort, it’s about survival on the job.
