HUNDREDS of security staff at two of Scotland’s busiest airports have overwhelmingly backed a strike as a pay dispute deepens.

ICTS central search workers at Glasgow and Aberdeen airports have been in dispute with the company for several months.

Their union Unite, whose ongoing Runway to Success campaign seeks to improve job security and terms and conditions in a sector where outsourcing is endemic, called the ballot when members rejected a 4 per cent pay offer backdated to January and a £500 one-off payment.
