Planned strike by Doncaster bus drivers called off to allow for talks in pay dispute
About 230 members of Unite employed by First South Yorkshire in Doncaster were due to walk out on Friday
A planned strike by hundreds of bus drivers has been called off to allow for talks over a pay dispute.
About 230 members of Unite employed by First South Yorkshire in Doncaster were due to walk out on May 1.
The Unite members have been taking industrial action as they seek pay parity with drivers at the same company in Sheffield.
The drivers will go ahead with a strike on Thursday and may also take industrial action on May 6 depending on the outcome of the talks, being held under the auspices of the conciliation service Acas.
Unite regional officer Christian Ratcliffe said: “The employer has agreed to a meeting with Unite and Acas. Therefore, we have suspended strike action this Friday for negotiations.”
