Strikes by workers who refuel aircraft at Gatwick Airport could be averted when the Transport and General Workers Union puts a new pay deal to its members.
Kevin Hall, the union's regional industrial organiser, said the new proposal involved changes to a three-year pay deal which he said had been controversially imposed on the 15 GRS workers in return for the firm accepting a voluntary union recognition agreement.
The union had called strikes running up to the May Bank Holiday weekend and warned that flights would be disrupted if the action goes ahead.
The new offer followed talks involving the conciliation service Acas on Tuesday.
