伦敦北部和埃塞克斯郡约1500名Unite工会公交司机恢复了为期四天的罢工行动，影响首都超过40条公交线路 1。此次罢工从周二持续至周五，主要起因是司机们面临高温工作环境，并对空调改善方案的落实进度深感担忧 1。
此前，涉及8个公交车库的司机已于8月14日和18日进行了首次罢工 1。虽然Unite工会与Arriva North London公司上周达成了协议，但部分司机认为方案不够充分并投票拒绝 1。司机们表示，驾驶舱内温度经常超过30摄氏度，在今年热浪期间甚至常超过40摄氏度，而现有空调系统仅能降温约2至3摄氏度，导致疲劳和中暑等健康风险 1。他们还担忧，公司提出的730辆公交车空调升级计划无法在明年夏天前完成 1。为此，司机们计划在9月和10月进行8次进一步的罢工行动 1。
Approximately 1,500 Unite union bus drivers in north London and Essex have resumed a four-day strike from Tuesday to Friday, affecting over 40 bus routes across the capital 1. The industrial action is driven by concerns over extreme heat in the workplace and the slow progress of an air conditioning improvement deal 1. Drivers are worried that Arriva North London's plan to upgrade the air conditioning in its fleet of 730 buses will not be completed before next summer 1.
The working conditions inside the cabs pose health risks, with temperatures regularly exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and frequently surpassing 40 degrees Celsius during this year's heatwave 1. Furthermore, the existing air conditioning systems can only reduce the temperature by about 2 to 3 degrees Celsius, leading to driver fatigue and heatstroke 1. Although Unite and Arriva North London reached an agreement last week, some drivers voted to reject it, deeming the proposal insufficient 1. This latest walkout follows initial strikes by drivers from eight bus garages on August 14 and 18, and eight further strikes are planned for September and October 1.
