Unite has warned of 'travel chaos' at Edinburgh airport
Scots holidaymakers are being warned of possible "travel chaos" this summer as Edinburgh airport staff have backed plans to strike.
The union is calling for a "realistic" solution, after members previously rejected a lesser offer to one made at Gatwick airport. Unite's Gatwick workforce has accepted a 12 percent pay rise with a one off £1,500 cash payment. According to Unite, Edinburgh staff work in areas affecting airport security, terminal operations, search areas, flight processing, as well as supply deliveries and airside services.
"Unite’s members deserve a pay offer which matches that of other airport workers including those where the owners GIP have a big stake like at Gatwick. It’s up to airport bosses now but they are under no illusions as to the strength of feeling among our membership."
