The GMB union on Friday (22 July) confirmed three-quarters of affected BA workers at Heathrow – predominantly lower paid women – had backed a revised pay deal.
The Unite union, meanwhile, said its BA check-in staff members at Heathrow, who number more than 500, had voted in favour of the new offer.
The action, which was set to disrupt the summer peak, stemmed from a dispute over a 10% pandemic pay cut, which both the GMB and Unite said had not reinstated.
The GMB said workers will now receive an 8% consolidated pay rise, a one-off bonus, and have shift pay reinstated. United added the offer, which will be paid in several stages, was worth about 13% to workers.
