Bus Vannin says it has attended all negotiations
Bus Vannin says it made another pay offer to drivers at the end of last week in a bid to resolve the ongoing dispute over pay and contractual issues.
In a statement issued this morning, the bus operator confirmed the latest offer would give an average of £1,180 per year in addition to the average pay award, which it states is around a seven percent increase this year.
It goes on to insists Bus Vannin has attended all scheduled negotiations and hasn't imposed any preconditions on participation.
Last week, Unite the Union told Manx Radio it had been 'stonewalled' by the department during negotiations.
It comes as a second round of walkouts have now come to an end, with the regular bus timetable coming back into force today.
Further strike action is planned from Friday.
