Strike by engineers servicing fighter planes in northern England continues
Discontinuous strike action by UK engineers servicing fighter planes at RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire continues. They are employed by Babcock International.
The Unite union members are protesting a disparity in overtime pay with colleagues carrying out similar duties at RAF Valley in Wales. The Leeming workers say they are around £5,000 a year worse off than their Welsh counterparts. The action, begun January 20, was stepped up to three days a week from March 2, to last until March 26. Workers are maintaining socially distanced picket lines.
