The AA has announced that the strike for the forthcoming May
bank holiday has been called off after the company put forward
proposals to keep the defined benefit sections of its pension
scheme open.
Andrew Strong, AA Services Chief Executive Officer, said: "We
are pleased that constructive talks on essential changes to the AA
pension are taking place. The AA believes that it is in the
interests of all staff to keep our defined benefit pension sections
open. However, as the Government and TUC have recognised, this
cannot be done at any cost and therefore changes are required."
