US EditionHolidaymakers warned ahead of potential summer strike action at Glasgow Airport
- Unite the union announced on Saturday, June 7, that it may ballot over 800 Glasgow Airport workers for strike action from mid-July if disputes remain unresolved.
- The disputes arose over rejected pay increases of 3.6% or 4.25%, understaffing, poor working conditions, and rota problems affecting workers from five companies.
- More than 250 ICTS Central Search staff, 120 Glasgow Airport Ltd workers, 300 Menzies Aviation employees, over 100 Swissport personnel, and 50 Falck firefighters are involved in the disputes.
- Unite industrial officer Pat McIlvogue stated that if the involved companies do not engage with Unite to address the ongoing issues, the union will have no choice but to initiate ballots for potential strike action.
- The potential strike action could ground planes and passengers, disrupting summer travel, but companies remain engaged in talks and can resolve disputes by addressing legitimate claims.
