Strikes planned by DHL workers at Luton Airport have been called off after staff accepted an improve pay offer.
Members of Unite who work for DHL on an outsourced contract for easyJet as baggage handlers and check-in staff were due to walk out from Boxing Day until December 28.
The 200 workers had walked out for three days last week, but after talk between Unite, DHL and the conciliation service Acas a new pay offer has been put forward.
Unite regional officer Jeff Hodge said: "Following negotiations, DHL returned to the table with an improved offer to our members. We've suspended strike action to allow them to have their say on whether to accept it."
