Wildcat strikes by thousands of contract workers were ending today after a deal was agreed to resolve a bitter row over jobs at an oil refinery.
Union leaders and employers reached an agreement late last night to end the dispute which flared at the Lindsey oil refinery in North Lincolnshire.
The deal will be recommended for acceptance at a mass meeting outside the refinery on Monday morning.
Sources said the deal involved the reinstatement of 647 workers at the oil refinery who were sacked for taking unofficial action in protest at the laying off of 51 employees by a sub-contractor.
