A two-day strike that threatened to cause misery for Docklands Light Railway passengers has been suspended.
Talks between union bosses and operators Keolis/Amey have secured an agreement, the Rail and Maritime Transport union said.
Members had been due to walk out from 4am tomorrow in a dispute over outsourcing and new human resources policies.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT is delighted to be able to announce that the determination and solidarity of our members across Docklands Light Railway has forced the pace in head-to-head talks with the operators, Keolis/Amey, and as a result we have secured agreement on all of the issues the union had put into dispute.
"That means that the union has been able to suspend the strike action, action that would have led to a total shutdown of the Docklands Light Railway from tomorrow morning.
"RMT members voted overwhelmingly for strike action and have proved that unity and organisation in the workplace can deliver positive outcomes that protect staff and their working conditions."
Keolis/Amey Docklands said the agreement followed a number of "productive" meetings
Managing Director Kevin Thomas said: “We are pleased to have reached agreement with the RMT to avoid this strike action.
"During the dispute all parties have worked tirelessly to address employees’ concerns and business needs to prevent unnecessary disruption for our passengers.
"We will continue to work the union to ensure we provide our passengers with the best possible travel experience, as well as continuing our preparations to deliver even further improvements in this new franchise.”
State-owned French company Keolis and Amey took over running the DLR last month after Serco lost the contract.
