A union leader says with more bus strikes in the pipeline, arbitration is now the only way to solve the bus dispute.
Bobby Morton of Unite was speaking after announcing a further half-day strike on Thursday next week.
It’s the second stoppage in a row over pay and conditions, which the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure wants to scrap in a bid to save £300,000 a year.
Mr Morton says there’s now no realistic hope of the two sides reaching agreement themselves:
Funding of government services 'not sustainable'
Chief financial officer says a review of service levels is needed
Douglas Council object to DoI plans for temporary parking on Summerland site
