Unite predicts the action will impact different services, from mail not getting through to offshore workers not being able to get to work or return home.Sharon Graham, Unite general secretary, stated:"Let's be clear that the source of this dispute is due to the inflexibility shown by airport management and the Scottish government to pay these workers what they deserve.
"Unite will fully support our members in the fight for better jobs, pay and conditions across the Highlands and Islands."Shauna Wright, Unite industrial officer, added:"Unite's industrial action will now cause widespread disruption. "Local communities, workers and businesses should turn their fire on the Scottish government for ignoring these vital workers and allowing this dispute to escalate to a point where airports will now be fully closed."
