Security staff strikes averted at Aberdeen Airport

Security staff at Aberdeen Airport have dropped 14 days of planned strike action after an agreement was reached over pay.

The strikes, involving baggage screening staff were due to begin on Monday.

The Unite union said it had been left with no option as negotiations with ICTS HBS Security, through the conciliation service Acas, failed to produce a breakthrough.

ICTS said on Friday evening that an agreement had been reached and “proposed industrial action” had been cancelled.

Unite said the revised offer would now be voted on by its members.

Aberdeen Airport said it had “robust contingency measures” and no impact had been expected had the strikes gone ahead.
