(Reuters) – Britain’s Unite union said on Monday the first summer strike at Heathrow airport involving over 2,000 security workers had been postponed after an improved pay offer.
Last week, the labour union had said employees would go on a strike for 31 days over low pay starting from June 24.
“Following extensive negotiations last week, a new offer was put forward by HAL (Heathrow Airports Ltd). Members will now be balloted on the latest offer and they will decide whether or not it meets their expectations,” Unite’s regional co-ordinating officer Wayne King said in a statement.
A spokesperson for Heathrow did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for a comment.
