Unite members working for First Essex have agreed to suspend their strike action planned for Monday 23rd November until the 7th of December 2009 to allow for talks.

Steve Linger, Unite regional industrial organiser, said: “Unite representatives today agreed to suspend the day of action planned for next Monday. They offered to suspend the strike for two weeks while talks continue to resolve the long running dispute with First Essex.
