A planned strike by train drivers on Avanti West Coast has been called off. Drivers on the main Manchester to London line were due to take industrial action next month in a dispute over sick notes.
But the union has today suspended the July 2 strike, saying the company has confirmed it will remove the disputed sick note policy.
Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said: "As we have always said, we want to maintain a culture of positive industrial relations. This outcome shows that when management come to the table and understand our members' perspective we are able to resolve issues effectively."
