Unite confirmed that 140 workers employed by Glasgow Airport Limited will benefit from a 4.5 per cent increase on basic salary rates, along with a one-off payment of £500.
The union has secured further pay deals for staff at the busy airport - based in Paisley - as well as Falck firefighters - who perform fire safety functions at the airport.
The pay agreement runs from January 1 until the end of the year and is worth up to 8.5% for some workers depending on grading. Double time for hours worked on public holidays along with time and a half for overtime is also part of the deal which also runs from the start to the end of the year. "We have delivered through negotiations another two good deals for 190 Falck and Glasgow Airport Limited workers. The message to all airport workers is clear - join Unite.”Unite has clocked up a string of recent successes as part of its ‘Runway To Success’ campaign which is designed to establish standards above the legal minimums across Scottish airports.
