Previously announced Welsh strike action planned to begin this week (20 November) has been suspended.

Workers with Unite had intended to strike due to what the union had claimed are low rates of pay from First Cymru, as well as the withholding of back-pay.

Action has now been suspended due to an improved pay offer, with Unite members set to vote on the latest offer. The ballot will be conducted next week and conclude on 28 November.

If rejected, strike action will now commence on Sunday 07 December and continue throughout December until 21 January.

Unite Regional Officer Alan McCarthy said:

Following the announcement of a winter of strike action, First Cymru has finally come forward with an improved pay offer. As an act of goodwill, Unite has agreed to suspend strike action while a ballot of our members takes place.
