About 1,000 Greater Manchester Bee Network bus drivers will go ahead with planned strikes after “talks broke down” over pay, a union has said.
The Unite union said 1,000 drivers from Metroline’s Sharston, Hyde Road, Ashton and Wythenshawe depots would take action from Tuesday to Thursday.
Transport for Greater Manchester earlier announced strikes planned for the same time by another 1,100 drivers working for Stagecoach and First Bus Rochdale had been suspended.
A Metroline spokesperson said: “We are disappointed that Unite has continued to pursue strike action rather than giving drivers the choice to ballot on our improved offer of an 8.8% increase over two years.”
