- Tuesday 12 November 2024
UK-wide deal lifts overall pay package by 26.7 per cent
Unite has delivered an inflation busting pay deal for Loganair workers across the UK, Scotland’s leading aviation union confirmed today (Tuesday 12 November).
Over 120 Loganair cabin crew will now benefit from the 18 month deal which was negotiated by Unite.
The deal covers cabin crew servicing flights from airports across the UK and Ireland. This includes London City and Heathrow, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Isle of Man, Liverpool, Manchester and Shetland.
The pay deal amounts to an average basic pay increase of 23 per cent, which then rises to 26.7 per cent when other pay benefits and allowances are included.
The highest pay rise will be for Loganair cabin crew trainers who are set for a substantial increase of around £8,300 or 29.3 per cent on basic hourly rates. The deal runs from September 2024 to April 2026.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite has delivered a substantial pay win for Loganair cabin crew workers across the UK and Ireland. It’s further evidence that we are securing better pay packages for workers throughout the aviation industry.”
“The message to all airport workers is clear, if you want better jobs, pay and conditions - join Unite.”
Unite has secured a string of successes as part of its ‘Runway To Success’ campaign. This is designed to establish standards above the legal minimums across Scottish airports and it includes the following pay wins:
- 12.8 per cent for Aberdeen and Glasgow airport ICTS workers.
- 12 per cent basic increase in pay for Edinburgh Airport Services workers.
- 11.9 per cent basic increase for over 100 OCS workers based at Edinburgh airport.
- 10 per cent pay rise for ABM workers at Glasgow airport
- 7.75 per cent for Skytanking workers at Inverness airport and Falck firefighters at Aberdeen.
Pat McIlvogue, Unite industrial officer, said: “Unite has successfully negotiated another pay deal which will make a real difference to the lives of our cabin crew members at Loganair. We believe this deal will set a benchmark for the rest of the aviation industry and it demonstrates the clear value of being a member of Unite.”
