Stagecoach workers are set to strike in Merseyside in a dispute over pay.
Further talks were held between Unite and Stagecoach this week as a strike planned for today (Thursday, June 30) was cancelled to allow workers to vote on Stagecoach's latest offer. But they failed to reach a breakthrough after Unite said its members "overwhelmingly decided" that the latest offer did not meet their expectations.
This means the bus strikes are now set to go ahead next week on Monday, July 4. The dispute affects 370 members of Unite, who are employed as bus drivers and engineers and work at the company's Gilmoss depot on the East Lancashire Road in Liverpool.
