Planned industrial action by 400 tanker drivers employed by Certas, have been suspended after the workers received an improved offer.

The strikes due to begin today (December 22) and from 5-11 January have been suspended to allow the workers, who are members of Unite, the UK’s leading union, to be balloted on the new offer.

The planned overtime ban which was also due to begin today has also been suspended.

Unite national officer Tony Devlin said: “Following an improved last-minute offer from the employer, strike action has been suspended as a gesture of goodwill. Our members will now be balloted on the revised offer.”

If the offer is rejected, then further industrial in the new year is set to take place.
