Given the continuing rises in fares, drops in fuel costs, wasteful bus wars paid for by drops in standards outside the "golden triangle" (South Manchester/Trafford/Salford), I think provided they don't really sc**w passengers by striking alternate days (as threatened in 2008), the drivers will get every sympathy.

It sounds like the actual offer from Stagecoach is a 2 year deal with 4% this year and nothing next year, while the union want 5p an hour next year on top of the 4%.
