Reduced services are expected at Belfast leisure centres on Tuesday amid strike action by workers.
Trade unions trade unions Unite and Nipsa announced the action last week following a lack of agreement in terms of the current pay offer.
Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL), a not-for-profit social enterprise that operates leisure services in partnership with Belfast City Council, said they offered a “fair and positive pay award of 3–5%”, which “is in line with inflation and exceeds the recent Local Government pay increase of 3.2%”.
In a joint statement agreed at the Labour Relations Agency, the two sides said they remain engaged in constructive negotiations.
“GLL management and the Trade Unions (Nipsa and Unite) remain engaged in constructive negotiations, with ongoing support from the Labour Relations Agency,” they said.
“Further discussions are scheduled for Thursday, 14 August 2025.”
All the Better leisure centres and gyms are to open on Tuesday, however due to a limited staff availability, some services may be temporarily reduced.
Normal service is expected to resume on Wednesday August 13.
