Possible strikes by baggage handlers at Heathrow Airport have been called off after a new pay deal was agreed.
The two-year deal comes after eight months of negotiations between unions and employer Babcock Airports.
Unite regional officer Lindsey Olliver said: "Unite’s reps at Babcock did a fantastic job in negotiating the best deal possible for our members.
"It is important to thank Acas for its assistance in getting this deal agreed. Without Acas’ assistance, it is likely that there would not have been an agreement and our members would have had no option to be balloted for industrial action, potentially causing serious disruption at Heathrow.
"Following this agreement on pay and the further agreement to consider workers’ conditions it is hoped that we can develop a strong working relationship in the future."
