Threatened Transport for Wales strikes avoided after pay deal reached

Threatened strikes in Wales have been avoided, after the TSSA union reached a pay deal with Transport for Wales (TfW).

The revised offer, for staff in clerical and management grades, includes a 5% pay rise in the first year of the deal and a commitment to match the rate of RPI (retail price index) in year two.

It also includes a commitment to productivity talks with a view to reducing the working week to 35 hours for some grades.

TSSA General Secretary Maryam Eslamdoust said: “After a very clear message from TSSA members to TfW on their willingness to ballot for industrial action, Transport for Wales has revised their offer.”
