Industrial action by around 350 bus drivers in East London tomorrow (6 February) and Saturday (7 February) has been called off.

Workers at the company, part of Stagecoach, were due to walk out in a dispute around the victimisation and bullying of Unite reps. However, this has now been postponed to allow further discussions between Unite and the employer. Further strikes on 20 and 21 February have also been called off.

Unite regional officer John Murphy said: "Unite has decided to allow the employer more time to resolve issues, so strike action has been called off as negotiations continue."
