Strikes by ABM workers at London Stansted Airport have been called off.

Unite the union says it's to allow workers to vote on an improved pay offer.

Over 100 Unite members who look after passengers with disabilities at the airport were due to walk out from tomorrow (Friday 17 April ) until Monday (20 April) in a dispute about pay.

However, following negotiations between Unite, the employer and the conciliatory service Acas this has now been postponed after a new offer was put forward.

Unite regional officer Steve Edwards said: “After a new offer was put forward to members, we have decided to suspend strike action to allow them to vote on the offer.”
