Strike action at Glasgow Airport is called off after workers back improved pay deals, according to reports. The planned industrial action would have affected air travellers departing during the summer, including travel linked to the World Cup, as well as the Scottish school holiday period. It also carried potential disruption for flights around next month’s Commonwealth Games.
The workers involved are employed by security and aviation services firms ICTS and Menzies Aviation, and about 400 staff are described as taking part in the vote. The outcome is reported as approval of back pay arrangements and higher pay offers, which removes the immediate threat of strike action.
The coverage indicates that the action had been intended to coincide with major international events taking place at the same time as heightened passenger volumes. With the pay deals accepted, workers’ decision ends the planned strike and avoids further disruption during these peak periods. No further strike dates are reported in the articles provided.
