Unite has secured an inflation-beating pay rise for Glasgow Airport staff.
Around 50 ICTS hold baggage screeners covered by the deal - which has been backdated to October - will see their basic pay increase by 7% alongside overtime rates being increased to time and half.
The latest deal follows a 9.8% increase for the baggage screeners last year which was backdated to October 2024.
The ICTS security agents perform tasks including the x-ray screening of hold baggage, document checks and the upkeep of the baggage system.
Sharon Graham, Unite general secretary, said: “Unite has delivered the latest excellent new wage deal for ICTS workers at Glasgow airport.
"Years of hard work by the members has gone into not only restoring jobs, pay and conditions but improving them.
"The ICTS deal continues to show that Unite delivers for workers across the aviation industry.”
Pat McIlvogue, Unite industrial officer, added: “In recent years Unite has significantly increased the hourly pay and allowances of ICTS workers at Glasgow airport.”
It comes as part of Unite's Runway To Success campaign which was launched in May 2024 in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic which severely hit the aviation industry.
The campaign is designed to establish standards beyond the legal minimums across Scottish airports, and to restore jobs, pay and conditions removed during Covid including sick pay, holidays, and shift premiums.
