Trade unionists and politicians set to discuss impact of proposed relocation of air traffic controllers
TRADE unionists and politicians in the Highlands are set to gather on Thursday to discuss the impact of a proposed relocation of air traffic controllers to Inverness.
The Prospect union will host a jobs summit to discuss the Highlands and Islands Airports’ (HIAL) planned centralisation of the highly skilled jobs.
HIAL air traffic staff took part in a one-day strike last week as part of ongoing industrial action aimed at ending the controversial remote towers project.
