It's due to an ongoing dispute over pay, conditions and changes to 'long-standing entitlements'.

Unite will now move into the statutory notification phase, and dates for industrial action will be confirmed if negotiations fail to produce an acceptable settlement.

In an updated statement this evening, a DOI spokesperson said: "Bus Vannin is aware that industrial action is being considered by some members of staff.

"Before this can be undertaken, there is a formal process which needs to be complied with. Any planned industrial action would have to be notified to Bus Vannin at least seven days prior to this taking place.

"Bus Vannin would like to reassure service users that when details are provided about any potential disruptions to service, these will be communicated in a timely manner wherever possible.

"Bus Vannin remains committed to ongoing discussions with the Union to seek to resolve matters."
