Broughton: Airbus strikes postponed after improved pay offer
Strikes due to begin next week at Airbus factories in Broughton and Filton have been postponed after Unite secured an improved pay and pension offer.
Unite confirmed that members will be balloted on the new offer between Friday 12 September and Friday 19 September.
Unite national officer for aerospace Rhys McCarthy said:
“Following further negotiations with Airbus, Unite has secured an improved offer from the company. Our members will now be balloted over that offer.
“As a gesture of goodwill, all industrial action that was due to take place in September has been postponed.”
Airbus had previously said it had made a competitive offer to staff, pointing to pay increases totalling more than 20 per cent over the past three years and a £2,644 bonus payment made in April.
If Unite members reject the latest offer, industrial action is scheduled to resume on 23 and 24 September.
