Security staff at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) are set to go on strike at the end of this month in action that could leave thousands of holidaymakers grounded.
LBA confirmed it has been served with a notification from the GMB Union of impending strike action by its security staff. GMB is a trade union and represents a small portion (less than 25 per cent) of LBA's security staff.
The GMB is demanding increases in the hourly rate of pay for its members to address the rising cost of living, and staff could walk out at the end of August if a meaningful offer is not made.
