Workers employed by ICTS at Gatwick had threatened to walk out over the August bank holiday weekend. However, the action was postponed following a new pay offer.
The Union union, which represents ICTS workers at Gatwick, has confirmed its members have accepted the new deal, which extends to a 7% pay rise backdated to April this year.
It means proposed strike action starting this Friday (29 August) will no longer go ahead. The action had been due to run through to Tuesday (2 September).
