More than 700 Co-op drivers have voted by a large margin to accept a package of proposals to settle the dispute over the outsourcing of jobs.
Unite the union recommended that its members accept the offer hammered out after two days of hard bargaining at the conciliation service Acas before the Easter holiday.
The dispute had centred on the transfer of 87 Coventry-based drivers to the haulier Eddie Stobart Ltd (ESL) and the implications for Co-op drivers across the UK in the future.
Unite national officer for retail distribution Adrian Jones said: "We are pleased to announce that our members have voted by a large margin to accept the deal on the table.
"We now look forward to a new chapter of constructive dialogue with management and to move forward in a positive fashion for the benefit of the Co-op, their customers and our members.
"We are confident that our members have a secure future with the Co-op and that our concerns about the future of in-house transport have been fully addressed."
