US EditionHolidays Could Be 'at Risk' as Glasgow Airport Strikes 'Inevitable' This Month
GLASGOW CITY, SCOTLAND, JUL 11 – Nearly 99% of Unite members rejected a 4% pay rise, prompting a 48-hour strike after management refused further negotiations, union officials said.
- Around 100 workers at Glasgow Airport will strike for 48 hours from 6am on July 24 to 5.59am on July 26 in a pay dispute.
- The strike follows a consultative ballot concluding on July 14 where 98.7% of Unite members rejected a 4% pay offer amid failed negotiations.
- The employees involved in the dispute at Glasgow Airport consist of roles such as ambassadors, support staff working airside, technical engineers, and managerial personnel, with the Unite union criticizing Glasgow Airport Limited for presenting the lowest pay increase offer.
- Glasgow Airport Limited, owned by AGS Airports acquired by AviAlliance in January 2025 for £1.53 billion, expressed disappointment and will implement contingency plans to minimize disruption.
- Unite's general secretary Sharon Graham warned that strike action this summer appears unavoidable unless the new owners of Glasgow Airport reconsider their position, emphasizing continued unrest.
