Workers at the airport planned to walk out for three days following a disagreement over pay
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.” A spokesperson at LBA said: “Our colleagues are at the forefront of LBA and we recognise their hard work and significant contributions. We are pleased to have worked closely and constructively with GMB to make progress towards an agreement.
“We’re committed to providing a quality service for our passengers and today is a positive step towards a conclusive agreement with the union and our staff.”
