Liverpool Dockers accepted pay increases of between 14%-18.5%, ending nearly two months’ worth of disruptive strike action.
After a meeting on Thursday, members voted overwhelmingly for the deal made between Unite union and their employers with roughly 600 workers due to return to work and finally end the dispute.
Unite referred to the pay offer as “inflation-busting”.
Dock workers first walked out on 19 September, citing increased inflation as equating to a real terms pay cut.
“The hard work and solidarity of our members and reps at Peel Ports, combined with the union’s strategic tactics, has paid off,” said Unite’s Bobby Morton.
Sharon Graham, general secretary of the union, said: “Our members on the picket line and Unite's strikes-plus strategy has forced the company to see sense and do the right thing.”
“Make no mistake – Unite will continue to fight for jobs, pay and conditions and defend workers relentlessly.”
Combined strike action by Liverpool and Felixstowe dock workers had previously threatened to shut down 60% of UK container traffic.
Paul Davey, head of corporate affairs at Hutchinson Ports said the strikes had not had landed “any real significant blow” to supply chains at Felixstowe.
