Bus strike cancelled after First Cymru and unions come to agreement

The strike, which would have affected First Cymru journeys served from depots including Swansea, Ammanford, Port Talbot and Haverfordwest, was originally scheduled to take place on Thursday 15 September, but was postponed due to the period of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.

In a statement, First Cymru said: “Following a successful ballot this morning we are pleased to announce that our bus driver colleagues have accepted the latest pay offer presented to them.

“This means that Unite the Union have agreed that pay negotiations have concluded and that there will be no strike action.

“Normal timetables will apply across all services.”
