Unite members at plants in Filton near Bristol, and Broughton, North Wales, were due to take industrial action next week.

Unite national officer for aerospace Rhys McCarthy said: “Following further negotiations with Airbus, Unite has secured an improved offer from the company. Our members will now be balloted over that offer.
