    Following an improved pay offer from First Cymru, proposed strike action planned to begin today (20 November) is now suspended.

    Workers had been due to strike due to anger over low rates of pay and because First were attempting to withhold back-pay.

    Unite members will now be balloted on the latest offer. The ballot will be conducted next week and will close on 28 November. In the event of a rejection, strike action will commence on Sunday 7 December and continue as previously announced 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.”
