RMT Press Office:
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch will join bus members working for First South West at Penzance bus station who are taking further strike action on Monday August 12 at 8am.
The union had put forward three different proposals following local consultations to prevent further strike action, but the bus company has refused to negotiate to end to the dispute.
"Our First South West members are now more determined than ever to take effective strike action to hammer home the point that their vital service to the local community cannot be taken for granted.
"First South West is a viable business with a parent company boasting profits of £204 million so the idea that our counterproposals are unaffordable is totally unrealistic and our members know it,” Mick Lynch said.
Picket lines will also be taking place at Camborne, Helston and Truro depots in Cornwall and at Taunton and Yeovil depots in Somerset.
