Airbus workers rejected an improved pay deal - with strike action now back on the table. Around 3,000 Unite members at Airbus voted overwhelmingly to strike in January after turning down an "unacceptably low" pay offer for 2021 - understood to be 2.7%.
But the action was suspended when a new offer was made to workers at Broughton in North Wales and Filton, near Bristol. The offer included a lump sum for the current financial year which worked out at 5.1% of basic pay.
There was then an offer of a 5.1% consolidated increase from April 1 until the end of the year followed by another 3% consolidated increase on all rates of pay from January 1 2023 to May 31 2023.
