A planned strike by security staff at Leeds Bradford Airport has been suspended amid new developments.

Members of the GMB union at Leeds Bradford Airport were set to walk out for three days next week over pay following a ballot vote of 93% in favour of industrial action.

But now it has been suspended so staff can be consulted over an improved pay offer.

GMB negotiator Joe Wheatley 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.”
