Belfast Council is to look at support for an 11.75 percent pay rise for Belfast leisure centre workers.
At the council's monthly meeting of the Strategic Policy and Resources Committee, elected members agreed to a report and a meeting looking into the pay claim, after a motion supporting the rise by Councillor Fiona Ferguson of the People Before Profit Party.
At the committee the DUP and the Alliance Party voiced scepticism about the pay rise, but a report and meeting on the matter received cross party support.
