Almost 130 Unite members at Leeds Bradford Airport plan to strike over pay from October 16 to 18, affecting air traffic control, customer experience, security and cleaning staff, and the union says the action would shut the airport completely, while the airport expects near‑normal operations.
The union also announced a second round of industrial action from October 23 to November 2, citing pay gaps such as air traffic controllers earning about £34,000 at Leeds Bradford versus £55,000 at nearby Newcastle Airport, and is seeking parity; hourly staff have received an offer under ballot, but controllers have not.
