    Unite said:-

    “A strike by more than 4,000 workers at Heathrow due to start tomorrow (Tuesday 6 August) at 00:01 and finish at 23:59 has been suspended while the workforce votes on an improved pay offer, Unite, Britain and Ireland’s largest union, said today (Monday 5 August).

    Unite said it would not be revealing the details of the improved offer until its members involved in the ongoing pay dispute have had an opportunity to consider and vote on the new package.
    However, Unite said that the strikes already announced for Friday 23 August and Saturday 24 August remained on the table until the result of the ballot was known.

    Unite will not be commenting further until its members have considered the improved offer.”

  BBC:
  Strike action at Heathrow on Tuesday has been called off after the airport group and the union Unite reached a deal over pay.

  Workers had planned to walk out on both Monday and Tuesday in a row over wages.

  Strike action over the two days has now been averted but Heathrow said a walkout on 23 and 24 August is still scheduled to go ahead.
