Cardiff bus strike action on hold after ‘improved offer’

Workers at a major bus company have suspended a planned strike after receiving an improved pay offer, a union has said.

About 450 Unite members at Cardiff Bus had planned to walk out from 17 August to 7 September in a row over pay.

But the union said those plans have been put on hold while members vote on the new offer.

“Cardiff Bus has returned to negotiations and put an improved offer on the table. Unite has therefore suspended strike action to allow members to be balloted on the proposals,” said Peter Hughes, Unite regional secretary.

The union said the new offer also included proposed changes to conditions including longer breaks and improved sickness terms.

Cardiff Bus have been asked to comment.

It is publicly-owned, and provides a large network of services in Cardiff and the nearby towns of Penarth and Barry, Vale of Glamorgan.
