Strikes at Glasgow Airport could cause \u201ca significant impact which we are keen to avoid\u201d, a union official has said.<\/p>\n
Unite has said around 450 workers are on course for strike action over the busy summer period as part of three pay disputes.<\/p>\n
The three companies involved are are\u00a0Glasgow\u00a0Airport\u00a0Ltd, ICTS Central Search,\u00a0and\u00a0Swissport.<\/p>\n
However, Unite has said it will be taking new offers from ICTS Central Search and Swissport to a further ballot of members next week.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the BBC\u2019s Good Morning Scotland radio programme, Unite industrial officer Pat McIlvogue said Glasgow Airport Ltd are refusing to meet with the union.<\/p>\n
The union represents around 100 staff which are employed by the airport.<\/p>\n
Mr McIlvogue accused the airport of negotiating in \u201cbad faith\u201d and having forced them into an industrial action ballot, which led to 98.7% being willing to take action.<\/p>\n
Staff could take strike action on July 18, he said, with those potentially involved including \u201cairfield ops, the ambassadors, the engineers, the managers\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mr McIlvogue said: \u201cIt could have a significant impact which we are keen to avoid. This is a call for them to get back around the table<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re asking for today \u2013 we\u2019re keen to avoid disruption, we don\u2019t want to affect the travelling public.\u201d<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Glasgow Airport said: \u201cWe are reviewing the ballot results and remain open to finding a sensible resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Strikes at Glasgow Airport could cause \u201ca significant impact which we are keen to avoid\u201d, a union official…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,14986,4884,10843,712,92420,7101,92421,16,92419,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-236975","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-glasgow-airport","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-industrial-action","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-significant-impact","15":"tag-strikes","16":"tag-swissport","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-union-official","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114794102979326983","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
