Stansted Airport strike: Union suspends this week's walkout as staff vote on pay offer

Disruptive strikes at London Stansted Airport planned for Friday and Saturday have been suspended.

A 72-hour industrial action has been halted while staff vote on a revised pay offer.

Unite announced the move after talks with employers Stobart Aviation under the chairmanship of the conciliation service Acas.

Unite regional officer Mark Barter said: "To give our members the opportunity to consider and to ballot on this offer we have suspended the 72-hour strike and our members will be working normally this weekend.

"Today's new offer comes after our members had rejected a previous pay offer earlier this week.

"We won't be revealing the details of the revised offer until our members have voted on it."

Further walkouts are still planned during August if there is no agreement.
