Strike action planned for this week has been called off by Unite after its members employed by Stagecoach in Merseyside accepted a new pay deal.
The 370-strong workforce, based at Stagecoach’s Gilmoss depot, had been set to walk out on Wednesday, July 20, after also having gone on strike on Monday, July 4.
However, the union said bus drivers will now receive a pay increase to £14 an hour back dated to March this year and to £14.20 from January 2023.
