A threatened walkout by airport security staff ahead of the August bank holiday has been suspended. The immediate strike threat has been lifted after bosses at Leeds Bradford Airport put forward an improved pay offer.
Members of the GMB union were set to strike for three days next week in the pay dispute but it has been suspended so workers can be consulted about the new offer. A GMB spokesperson said: “Following a number of commitments put forward by Leeds Bradford bosses to improve pay, we now need to fully consult with our members working in security at the airport.
“GMB’s strike committee has agreed to suspend next week’s planned strike action to give us the facility, time and space to consider the new, improved offer with our members.”
