The GMB union says a strike by workers in the Welsh Ambulance Service has now been suspended to allow further negotiations with the Welsh Government.
Welsh ambulance workers have suspended their plans to strike on Monday after a pay offer from the Senedd.
The GMB union says its members have been offered a 1.5% non-consolidated rise and a 1.5% consolidated one-off payment for 2022 to 2023 - on top of the already imposed 4.5%.However, the union says the strike has now been suspended to allow further negotiations with the Welsh Government. Nathan Holman, GMB Welsh NHS lead said:"After intense negotiations, GMB has agreed to suspend strike action while further talks take place.
"We recognise that the Welsh Government and Welsh Ambulance have made concessions and, through social partnership, we appreciate the frank and open dialogue with them over the last few months. "This has only been made possible because the Welsh Government has been prepared to talk about pay - a lesson for those in charge on the other side of the Severn Bridge.
