Rolls-Royce is looking to seal a deal with workers that will preserve hundreds of jobs at its historic Barnoldswick factory.
Members of the Unite union have been striking over the company’s plans to shift work from the site to Spain and Singapore, which would have resulted in the loss of around 490 jobs.
Unite has now suspended industrial action and will put the deal to its members to consider.
