ICTS make last-minute new pay offer

 
Unite can confirm that strike action at Aberdeen airport involving ICTS security staff has been suspended following a last-minute enhanced pay offer to the workers.
 
Following the announcement yesterday confirming fourteen days of strike action throughout July and into August, ICTS HBS Security made a new offer which will now be voted on by the workforce to either accept or reject. As a gesture of goodwill Unite has suspended all industrial action until the vote is complete.
 
The Unite members make up the majority of the baggage screening team at Aberdeen airport. 
 
Unite industrial officer Paula Buchan said: “Unite has agreed to postpone industrial action until our members vote on a new improved pay offer made by ICTS.”
 
“This offer should have been made available earlier rather than the last minute. Our members have shown determination throughout this dispute and the improved offer has only come about because they have stood firm and refused to back down.”
