Glasgow Airport staff vote to accept 11% pay rise
Workers will also get a one-off £1,000 payment.
Workers at Glasgow Airport have voted to accept an 11% pay increase.
Around 100 staff members backed the deal delivering 7 per cent increase on basic salary rates and allowances along with a £1,000 one-off payment.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite has secured yet another good deal for our members based at Glasgow Airport.
"This deal will significantly improve the pay of around 100 members and for the lowest paid it will uplift their pay by 11 per cent.
"Unite does what it says on the tin: we deliver better pay, terms and conditions for our members across Scottish airports.”
Unite recently announced hundreds of members based at Glasgow Airport have secured pay deals.
This includes a phased increase worth up to 11 per cent for around 250 workers at ICTS Central Search, and ground services crew employed by Menzies Aviation accepted a one-year pay deal worth up to 11 per cent on basic pay.
Pat McIlvogue, Unite industrial officer, added: “The deal for Glasgow Airport workers will really help our members make ends meet during this cost of living crisis.
"It’s a deal that is the equivalent of a pay rise of up to 11 per cent due to the £1,000 cash payment.
"It should also serve as an example to all the other companies who refuse to make a fair pay offer to their workforce that there is another way of doing business.
"But if they want to escalate these pay disputes then our members are fully prepared to fight for what they deserve.”
