Staff at Glasgow airport got a pay offer to help them tackle the cost of living crisis.

Unite is celebrating members securing a major 10.9% pay uplift for OCS workers at the travel hub.

OCS Group workers aid passengers with reduced mobility issues.

This includes assisting passengers with wheelchairs and ambilift vehicles for travellers at Glasgow airport.

Around 80 workers overwhelmingly accepted the offer which represents a substantial increase in pay worth £12.20 per hour, which is 20 pence an hour more than the real living wage.

The 2024 pay deal is another double digit pay increase for the employees who received an 11.1 per cent increase in 2023.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite has secured double digit wage increases for our OCS members two years in a row.

“It’s another good wage deal for our members at Glasgow airport. Unite is fully determined to enhance the jobs, pay and conditions of our members across all Scottish airports.”

Last week, Unite announced a major pay deal for ABM workers at Glasgow airport which raises basic hourly pay to £12.10 per hour.

The deal represents a victory for ABM cleaners in a long-running union campaign to have basic pay levels sustained above the real living wage level.

Unite is also set to launch a 'New Deal' for Scottish aviation workers ahead of the busy summer period which will focus on enhancing the jobs, pay and conditions of its members across all Scottish airports.

Pat McIlvogue, Unite officer said: "The OCS wage deal has secured enhancements to pay, terms and working conditions.

“Unite is determined to ensure that across all employers at Glasgow airport the real living wage as a minimum is secured.

“The OCS deal delivers this objective and it gives a significant boost to our members’ income over the course of the next year.”

Glasgow Airport has been contacted for comment.
