Staff at helicopter manufacturer set to strike
Staff at helicopter manufacturer Leonardo set to strike across five sites, including UK's only helicopter factory in Somerset, over pay dispute with unions demanding a better offer than the proposed 3.2% rise. The industrial action by 3,000 Unite members could disrupt operations for the defense firm. Leonardo expresses disappointment but remains open to further negotiations to avoid strikes.
