Strike action by some staff at Huntingdonshire District Council including waste collection staff, has been temporarily called off after a fresh pay offer.
The action announced earlier this month was planned to start on Monday 21st August.
Trade union UNISON have today announced strikes have been paused to allow workers to consider their options.
UNISON Eastern regional organiser Cameron Matthews said: “Striking is always a last resort so we’re glad council bosses came back to the table with an improved offer.
“All the different options being presented still fall short of what workers are asking for, but they’re a step in the right direction.
“Staff will now vote on the proposals, deciding whether to accept one of the new offers or press ahead with industrial action.”
