Department of Community, Culture and Leisure officials were surprised to receive notification of the latest bus drivers' strike, says the department's chief executive.
The ten-minute strike at 4.37am on Saturday has been called to keep their industrial action rolling without having to ballot drivers again.
Nick Black says the department had instead been expecting to hear whether or not there would be a vote on a new set of proposals the DCCL had put forward:
UK Budget measures to help gas consumers not to be replicated here
Isle of Man Energy says it has no plans to remove standing charges
Onchan heading for full recount following petition from ex-MHK
Former MHK Julie Edge has called the results into question
Treasury 'always looking' at whether additional support packages are needed
Treasury minister says any changes will be made based wholly on the situation in the Isle of Man
Onchan MHK confident in 'integrity' of those involved in election process
Follows decision by former colleague to start legal proceedings
