Upcoming strikes by Unite members working for the capital's Metropolitan Police have been suspended after talks resulted in an improved pay offer.

Unite members at the Met working in MetCC call centre and in the force's fleet were due to walk out from 19 to 24 January in a dispute around pay.

However, this has now been suspended to allow the Unite’s entire membership in the Met to vote on a new offer from the Met following talks between the force, Unite and the conciliatory service Acas. This consultative pay ballot will close on 28 January 2026.

Unite regional officer Keith Henderson said: "Following a breakthrough in negotiations, we have agreed to suspend upcoming strike action to allow our members to have a say on whether to accept this."
