Planned bus strikes by Stagecoach workers in Merseyside have been suspended to allow staff to vote on a new pay deal.
The proposed strikes, by members of Unite, were due to take place tomorrow (Friday July 15) and again on Monday July 18. These days of action have been called off to allow a new vote to take place amongst members.
The move comes after extensive negotiations held on Wednesday July 13 resulted in Stagecoach and Unite agreeing on a new pay offer. Unite regional officer Dave Roberts said: “Following a significantly improved offer from Stagecoach, Unite has suspended the two forthcoming one day strikes in order to ballot its members on the new offer.”
