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:
Drone pilots warned of exclusion zones during road racing
Restrictions also in force during Red Arrows
No self-driving car laws expected before 2027
Minister says currently 'no risk' of autonomous vehicles being brought to the Island
Cannan: 'Too early to reveal any re-election plans'
Chief minister won't be drawn on if he's standing in September
Techstars Startup event to take place in July
Over 50 professionals set to come to the Island
Tynwald petitioners advised to seek advice
Guidance can be found online or from the Legislative Buildings
