HEALTH workers postponed their two-day strike in Swansea hospitals today after winning a new pay offer.

A strike by hundreds of NHS staff at hospitals in Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot set for this week was suspended after health board bosses made an improved pay offer.

Unison Cymru Wales said the improved offer would be put to healthcare assistants over the next two weeks to establish whether they want to accept or reject the proposals.

Unison is also seeking compensation for the time they have not been paid fairly.

Port Talbot Hospital healthcare support worker Hollie Arnold said: “We love our jobs, but we want to be paid fairly for the work we do.”
