A PAY deal has been secured by staff at Stagecoach in Dumfries and Galloway, avoiding strike action.
A Stagecoach spokesperson yesterday said: “Following further discussions with Unite, our staff across Dumfries and Galloway have accepted a two year pay deal that will see their hourly rate of pay increase by nearly 12 per cent.”
However, staff in Ayrshire have rejected the same offer and are planning a walk out.
The spokesperson added: “On Monday May 26, Monday June 2 and Friday June 6, services will operate as normal from our Cumbernauld, Dumfries and Stranraer depots, with reduced services from our Ayrshire depots.
“The details of the services being operated can be found on our website.”
