Ground handlers at Gatwick have called off planned strike action, which had been due to get under way on Friday (18 August), after being made a “significantly improved” pay offer.
A decision is due imminently on Gatwick's proposal to bring its standby runway into regular use
Unite union members employed at Gatwick by ground handler Red Handling will no longer walk out between 18 and 21 August to allow for them to be balloted on the new pay deal.
“Unite has been consistent from the outset, we believed Red Handling could afford to make an improved offer and that proved to be the case,” said Unite regional officer Dominic Rothwell. “Our members will now decide whether the deal on the table meets their expectations.”
