LONDON - A first round of strikes planned by baggage handlers working with easyJet at London’s Gatwick airport has been suspended after a better pay offer, their union said on Tuesday, warning that other walkouts will still go ahead.

Around 600 DHL workers who fulfil contracts for Gatwick’s biggest airline easyJet have called off strikes planned for 28 July to 1 August and will now be balloted on the new pay offer, trade union Unite said in a statement. If members were to reject the deal, the union said it would set out fresh strike dates. It did not elaborate on what the new wage offer was.
