Shorts workers decide to end strike

Workers at the Shorts Aerospace company are to end their strike.

Shop stewards from the Amicus union have agreed to back a proposal, which has been agreed by both sides.

Under the deal, there will be no redundancies before the end of March and a controversial new shift system will be discussed as part of pay negotiations.

Over 4,000 members of Amicus and the TGWU went on strike last week in a dispute over pay and cost-cutting.
