The Unite Union have said strikes will take place on four consecutive days between 11th and 14th August (Friday-Monday). Strike action will apply to all Stagecoach Manchester depots (Wigan depot not included).

This adds to the strikes from First Manchester drivers at its Oldham depot, who are striking today (28th July), 31st July plus 2nd/4th/7th/10th/11th August. That will mean 5 days in a row in August will see strike action on part of the GM bus network and Friday 11th August will see both First and Stagecoach drivers on strike on the same day too.

Spoke to a mate tonight who’s a Stagecoach driver. If they don’t reach an agreement with management before or after the first weekend of strike action they are planning to strike over the pride weekend. There’s major train strikes that weekend also so it could be chaos for commuters.

Also can anyone confirm whether Middleton will go out on strike? I believe they have already agreed to a separate pay deal but will they work or support fellow colleagues?
