Edinburgh airport could be hit by summer travel disruption as members of the Unite union working at the Scottish hub are set to be balloted on strike action between 5 and 23 May.

Unite announced on Wednesday (3 May) that 275 members working in terminal operations and airport security will decide whether to down their tools as part of a long-standing pay dispute with employer Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP).

 

Workers previously rejected an 11% pay rise as well as a lump sum of £1,000, claiming GIP had made a higher offer to workers at Gatwick.
