Aberdeen Airport strikes suspended for pay talks

Another day of strike action has been suspended at Aberdeen International Airport after further discussions in a pay dispute.

Members of the Unite union are locked in a dispute with airport bosses over pay and pensions after workers rejected the latest deal.

The union said its members have rejected a fresh 3% pay offer with a £600 lump sum payment by around 63% in the latest ballot.

A walkout due to take place between 6am and 10am on Thursday was suspended to allow those talks to continue.

On Thursday evening it was announced action for the same time period on Friday had also been suspended.

A spokesman for the union said: "Unite can confirm tomorrow's (June 28) scheduled industrial action is suspended following further discussions today.

"A joint communication it is expected will be issued tomorrow at 10.30am between the Unite branch committee and Aberdeen Airport management.''

An airport spokeswoman added: "Strike action has been suspended on Friday June 28 to allow for a further meeting to take place on Friday morning."
