A strike planned by nearly 200 Veolia workers at 22 Merseyside household waste sites has been called off.
The Unite members have accepted a pay deal worth over 18% while the lowest paid workers will also receive a one-off payment of £375.
The two-year pay deal will see workers receive a 10% pay rise backdated for the financial year 2022/23 and an 8.4% increase for 2023/24.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "Veolia Merseyside workers stood together in their union and secured a substantial pay rise.
"Unite is totally focused on defending and improving our members jobs, pay and conditions.
"As this pay deal, and the hundreds of others negotiated by the union across the country, shows, it is an approach that delivers results."
Unite regional officer John McColl added: "The pay deal secured at Veolia, is another example of why Merseyside workers should join Unite if they want better wages and working conditions."
