NO STRIKE AT LBA ON 28 MARCH 2006
21 March 2006
An agreement has been reached with the TGWU at Leeds Bradford Airport that will ensure that there will not be a one day strike at LBA on the day of the national one day strike over proposed changes to the local government pension scheme.
Airlines have been notified that trade union members will be carrying out a protest over the proposed pension changes which will result in the runway being closed for two hours from 1130 hours on 28 March. The rest of the airport’s operations, including check in, car parks, terminal facilities, shops, restaurants, bars and lounges will all be open as normal.
This should result in minimal, if any, disruptions to flights. All passengers whose flight is due to operate between 1130 and 1330 on 28 March are advised to check with their airlines if they have any queries.
