More Disruption for Summer Holidays as Airport Workers Could Go on Strike
Unite said around 170 ICTS workers rejected an unacceptable pay offer, warning any strike could disrupt summer travel and major events.
- Aviation trade union Unite is balloting around 170 ICTS workers at Glasgow Airport for strike action after they "emphatically" rejected a company pay offer labeled "unacceptable."
- Unite industrial officer Carrie Donoghue stated the airport "simply can't operate" without the staff, who manage security searches, flight processing, access posts, mobile patrols, and delivery screening.
- Accusing the company of a "cavalier attitude," Unite general secretary Sharon Graham warned that the "highly profitable" ICTS can fully afford a better pay offer.
- The ballot opens tomorrow, May 1, and closes May 21, with potential industrial action threatening disruption during the Commonwealth Games and World Cup.
- "Unite will back our ICTS members every step of the way in their fight for better jobs, pay and conditions," Graham pledged as the union awaits results.
