According to the Civil Aviation Resources Network on July 8, 2025: According to the United Kingdom's Unite trade union confirmed on July 4, about 450 Glasgow Airport staff plan to strike this summer to protest against the unresolved disputes over pay and working conditions with three airport-related companies.
The three companies that are still in labor disputes with the union are: Glasgow Airport Ltd, airport security company ICTS Central Search and Swissport International Airport Services.
The union said that among Unite members working at Glasgow Airport Ltd, as many as 98.7% of employees voted in favor of taking strike action to fight for better pay. About 100 employees of the company have rejected a proposal for a 4% increase in basic wages. These employees include engineers, managers, etc.
Another 250 or so ICTS Central Search employees are also in an ongoing dispute over staff shortages, working conditions and pay. These employees mainly work in the airport security area and are directly responsible for passenger security and boarding processes. The union is currently voting on a new pay proposal covering basic salary, shift allowances and overtime pay.
Meanwhile, more than 100 Swissport employees are still in a labor dispute with the company over scheduling, work-life balance and occupational safety hazards. The union pointed out that these employees have been in a state of fatigue and understaffing for a long time, and Swissport often asks employees to work overtime at very short notice, which seriously affects their personal lives. In response to these problems, Swissport has proposed a new plan, and the union is currently conducting an indicative vote, which will end on July 14. If the proposal is rejected, Unite will initiate the formal strike vote procedure.
Sharon Graham, secretary general of the Unite union, said: "Currently, hundreds of employees are involved in labor disputes. If the problem is not resolved, there is still a risk of flight suspensions and passengers being stranded this summer."
