Ryan FowlerIndustrial action by bus drivers in Bedfordshire has been suspended following an improved offer from the employer, Unite the union announced today (4 July).
Over 140 drivers at Cambus were due to walk out on 9-13 July and additional dates in July and August over their poor pay compared to other drivers in the region.
Following a new and improved offer from Cambus, a subsidiary of Stagecoach, Unite has paused the industrial action as a goodwill gesture.
Unite regional officer Mark Plumb said:
“I’m pleased that Cambus have seen sense and made an improved pay offer for our members. This new offer will now be voted on by members in a ballot and, as a goodwill gesture, the planned strike action next week will now be paused.”
