Transport for Wales strike threat update issued (original) (raw)

The threat of Transport for Wales staff taking strike action looks to have been averted. A revised offer has been made by Transport for Wales to staff, which has been welcomed by union reps.

The union had said "several hundred" members working across dozens of roles – including station staff, depot managers, controllers, and customer services – will be given a say on the prospect of industrial action, which includes strike action and action short of a strike, after the union rejected a below-inflation two-year pay offer of 3.5% in year one and pay linked to RPI inflation in February 2025 for year two.

TSSA say the revised offer from TfW, which affects 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 in year two. It also includes a commitment to productivity talks with a view to reducing the working rate to a target 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."
