Strike warning for bus passengers

DRIVERS EXPECTED TO WALK OUT IN FOUR-DAY ACTION IN DISPUTE OVER WHAT UNION CALLS 'YEARS OF LOW PAY'

- By STEPHEN TOPPING

HUNDREDS of Bee Network bus drivers are expected to walk out in a fourday strike amid a dispute over pay against their employers.

Stagecoach, Metroline Manchester and First Bus Rochdale workers are all expected to take industrial action later this month.

The three companies are among those which make up the Bee Network under the recently-introduced franchising system.
