TSSA today (Wednesday) congratulated their members after reaching a pay deal with Transport for Wales (TfW), averting the need to ballot for strike action.

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.

“Make no mistake. TfW has only made this improved pay offer because our members showed that they were ready to vote for strike action. My message to any worker today wishing they were better paid is simple. – Join a union!”
