Stagecoach bus drivers to vote on new pay offer

STRIKING Stagecoach bus drivers are to be balloted on a new pay offer after talks with the company last Friday.

Further action planned for next Monday—the eighth day of strikes during the three-month dispute—is still in place but will depend on the outcome of the vote.

The ballot of 340 members of the Unite union will be conducted at the firm’s depots in Rawmarsh and Barnsley on Thursday.
