Four days of planned strike action by Environment Agency workers has been called off at the 11th hour.
Unison members with the Environment Agency had been planning to walk out at 6am on Friday in an ongoing dispute over pay.
In a message to members, Unison's national secetary, Donna Rowe-Merriman, said the decision to suspend the strike came after a breakthrough in the pay dispute. She added:"Unison’s Environment Agency Sector Committee met today and took the decision to suspend the November 3 to 6 action on the strict condition that pay talks commence immediately."
In her update for members Ms Rowe-Merriman said that if a satisfactory agreement was not reached then the union would look to return to strike action.
