Bus driver strikes, by members of Unite, employed at Stagecoach in Warwickshire, have been suspended to allow workers to be balloted on a new pay deal. 

Following negotiations held today (Monday), a new pay offer was put forward by Stagecoach.

Strike action due to begin tomorrow (5 September) has been suspended.

Unite regional officer Sulinder Singh said: “Following an improved offer from Stagecoach, Unite has suspended strikes in order to ballot its members on the new offer.”

If the deal is rejected, indefinite strike action will begin on Tuesday 12 September.

Approximately 350 bus workers based in Warwickshire are involved in the dispute.
