A planned strike by security staff at Leeds Bradford airport ahead of the August bank holiday has been suspended.
The GMB union said it would be consulting with members over an improved pay deal put forward by airport bosses.
Workers at the Yorkshire airport were set to walk-out for three days next week following a dispute over pay – which saw a ballot return of 93% vote in favour of industrial action.
The suspension of the strike will give the union time to conduct the consultation.
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 Leeds Bradford airport said: “Our colleagues are at the forefront of Leeds Bradford airport 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.”
