Strike action at Gatwick Airport has been suspended following a new pay offer.

The walkout involved 220 members of the Unite union employed by Wilson James and would have affected passenger assistance services from September 17 to 21 and again from September 23 to 26.

Industrial action has been put on hold to allow workers to vote on the revised pay proposal.

Ben Davis, regional officer for Unite, said: "After pay talks, Wilson James has come forward with a new, improved offer.

"In good faith, we have paused industrial action to allow members to have their say on whether they accept this."
