Trade union Usdaw said it has suspended strike action at the Ashby-de-la-Zouch site of KP Snacks in Leicestershire, which was due to start on 9 December, following a restart in pay negotiations.
“Over the last few days, Usdaw has been in negotiations with KP Snacks in an attempt to reach an offer which we believe is acceptable to our members and find a resolution to the current pay dispute,” Ed Leach, Usdaw area organiser, said.
“Usdaw has therefore agreed to suspend current plans for industrial action.”
The trade union announced the strike action late last month after a formal strike ballot resulted in a nearly 80 per cent voting in favour.
KP Snacks, whose brands include Hula Hoops, McCoy’s and Butterkist, at the time assured customers of minimal impact in the event of industrial action.
