Aberdeen airport strike cancelled

Strike action at Aberdeen airport has been cancelled after a new pay deal was accepted.

The revised 3% deal was put to members of the Unite union.

A series of 24-hour walkouts had been planned in the row over pay, with the first one due on Friday.

An airport spokesman said: “Following further discussions on pay, Aberdeen international airport can confirm that Unite have accepted the final proposal from the company.

“We are in a position to confirm that the industrial action proposed by members of the union has been cancelled as a result, ensuring there will be no disruption to our business partners and passengers.”

Unite regional officer Tommy Campbell said: “Unite is pleased that the dispute with Aberdeen international airport has now been resolved with all prospective industrial action now being cancelled.

“The company rightly recognised that our members deserved 3%.”
