Commuters in Sale and Ashton on Mersey, should not be affected by the Manchester bus strike tomorrow.

Bosses from First Manchester gave assurances that they will be running a normal service, but buses in the north of the city are expected  to be badly disrupted.

More than 700 bus drivers from the Unite union, could be involved in strike action in Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale Salford and some services in Trafford could be hit.

Unite have said that the reason for the strike revolves around a trade dispute regarding changes to conditions, agreements and bargaining procedures, which First Manchester deny. First Manchester are still seeking clarification around the specific issues of the dispute and what resolution Unite require to bring the dispute to an end.

In an attempt to try and resolve the dispute, First Manchester has been in discussion with the conciliatory service ACAS.

The advice is to check with First Manchester in the morning.
