Strike action threat called off at Edinburgh Airport

A potentially disruptive strike at Edinburgh Airport has been avoided following agreement on a new pay deal.

Union Unite said the new pay deal was agreed with Menzies for 300 ground crew.

The workers will see their salaries increase by an average 6.5% next year, while some will see a 10% increase,

The threat of strike action has been cancelled.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite has successfully negotiated a good pay deal for Menzies Aviation. Our Runway to Success campaign across Scottish airports continues to deliver win after win.”

A similar pay deal was agreed at Glasgow Airport.

The Menzies ground crew workers include dispatchers, airside agents and controllers.

They originally rejected an initial offer of a 4% pay increase.
