PUBLIC sector unions have called off a one-day strike over pensions.
Many of the council's 12,500 workers, and staff at sister organisations such as Bolton at Home, had planned to join the nationwide 24-hour walkout on Wednesday.
Staff from refuse collectors and school dinner ladies to architects were protesting at government plans to raise their pension age from 60 to 65.
The industrial action was cancelled on Monday by unions, including Unison and the TGWU, after the government offered fresh talks.
But Martin Challender, secretary of the Bolton Metro branch of Unison, warned that the dispute was not over.
