Prospect union has paused planned strike action by Welsh civil servants after the Welsh Government have offered to engage in meaningful talks.
Daniel Maney, Prospect union Negotiations Officer, said:
“We have agreed to pause our planned strike action by Welsh civil servants because the Welsh Government have communicated their willingness to engage in meaningful talks.
“Throughout this dispute, we have made clear that our members should not be treated worse than other workers in the public sector and that they deserve a pay deal that recognises the cost-of-living crisis that began last year.
“We are entering these talks in good faith hence our calling off the strike action due for 7 June, but we will maintain our action short of a strike and review that position in light of the talks that are promised.”
