A POTENTIAL two-week strike at a glass firm was called off yesterday following an improved pay offer.
Members of the union Unite at Tyneside Safety Glass, in Team Valley, Gateshead, are to be balloted on a “significantly improved” pay offer.
As a result, strike action has been called off.
Unite assistant general secretary Tony Burke said: “Unite strongly recommends the improved offer and the shop stewards will be briefing members this week.”
Seventy-three Unite members were involved in the dispute over pay and changes to shift patterns.
