Bus strike vote expected today

Workers voted on strike action yesterday.

Staff at the Raspons transport firm in the Highlands are expected to declare the results of a strike ballot today.

The Transport and General Workers Union said staff at Raspons are unhappy with being paid less than workers at competing firms. An immediate pay offer was made to raise the wages, but T&G are pushing for strike action.
