Strike action looms at bus firm
Passengers in parts of Notts and Derbys face disruption after a bus company's employees voted for strike action.

The dispute centres on a pay deal offered by Stagecoach East Midlands and involves members of the RMT Union.

Drivers had put in a claim for �7.50 an hour, but the unions says Stagecoach only offered them �7.

Workers based in Mansfield, Worksop and Chesterfield will go on strike on the 20, 23 and 31 of May, after voting 270 to 29 in favour of action.

Stagecoach said it has offered employees a 5% increase but the RMT reckons that is not enough to settle the row.
