Trade union Unite, which represents members in the UK and Ireland, has secured a pay deal for around 60 cleaners employed by ABM at Glasgow Airport. It was ‘overwhelmingly accepted by Unite members and represents a victory for the ABM cleaners in a long-running union campaign to have basic pay levels sustained above the real living wage,’ said the union.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham described the new deal as a “significant win,” adding: “This has ensured a double digit pay rise for two years running”. The union also intends to campaign for aviation workers ‘ahead of the busy summer period’ across all Scottish airports.
