Glasgow airport could be hit by summer travel disruption after security staff rejected a 5% pay increase, raising the prospect of industrial action.

Around 250 members of the union Unite employed at the airport in the security search area have voted by 94% to reject the pay offer put forward by their employer, security services provider ICTS. 

 

Union bosses said workers considered the deal “a massive pay cut in real terms,” as the retail price index currently stands at 13.5%. Unite has also said it will ballot its members if ICTS doesn’t improve the offer.
