Strike plans which would have affected supplies to over 400 Co-op stores have been suspended after an improved pay offer was tabled.
More than 330 lorry drivers and transport clerks employed by logistics giant GXO on the outsourced Co-op contract, and based at the company’s Elton Head Road distribution centre in St Helens, were due to hold an initial 48-hour strike beginning on Tuesday, May 31.
However, the plans have been called off to allow members of Unite to be balloted on a new offer.
