Aircraft refuellers at Birmingham airport have called off a period of "indefinite" strike action which had been due to get under way on Tuesday (15 August) following last-ditch pay talks.
Plane refuellers have accepted a 9% pay increase and a lump sum of £750
The Unite union said the new deal put forward by contractor Menzies Aviation included a 9% pay increase and a lump sum of £750, as well as the pledge to make temporary staff permanent and upgrade communications technology.
“From the very outset of this dispute, Unite has been clear that Menzies could afford to make our members an improved offer and that has shown to be the case,” said Unite regional officer Sulinder Singh.
