Union calls off Gatwick strikes after improved pay deal
Further industrial action could still happen this month though
Members of a ground handling company at Gatwick Airport won't take strike action from tomorrow (August 17th), following an improved pay offer.
The Unite union had announced four days of walkouts from Friday until Monday by the company Red Handling as part of their dispute.
Those members will now be balloted on the new offer.
Unite regional officer Dominic Rothwell said:
"Unite has been consistent from the outset, we believed that Red Handling could afford to make an improved offer and that proved to be the case.
"Our members will now decide whether the deal on the table meets their expectations."
If workers reject the offer, strike action planned from August 25th to 28th will go ahead.
