Tim Crookall says meetings have been ongoing
The infrastructure minister says it's not yet known how the Island will be impacted by a planned 10-day bus strike, but insists the door is always open for talks.
Yesterday, Unite the Union confirmed the planned action to Manx Radio, which starts from 21 February.
Tim Crookall says meetings have been ongoing, and he'd like to get involved in them to explore the options and resolve the issues.
He adds the bus network is essential to the Island and its residents and has this plea to Unite:
