Travel chaos looms over 'poverty' pay offers

Over 400 Glasgow Airport based workers are set to be balloted on strike action following pay offers being rejected, or in one case no decent formal offer being made.

Unite has now confirmed its plans to ballot workers on strike action as part of its ongoing campaign to deliver better jobs, pay and conditions at Glasgow Airport - during times when inflation remains historically high with RPI currently standing at 13.5 per cent.Unite general secretary, Sharon Graham, said: “ Unite has worked extremely hard over a number of years to ensure pay levels at Glasgow Airport kept up with the cost of living.

Around 200 ICTS Search workers rejected an improved pay offer which would increase their pay to £12.61, a rise by 94.4 per cent. The workers deal with passengers in the security search area and process them for flights. They cover mobile patrols, control access posts, screen all deliveries and deal with emergency services at Glasgow Airport.

Unite confirmed that Glasgow Airport made no formal pay offer to around 100 Unite members for 2023, while airport management have refused to pay a bonus to a number of engineers.
