Prospect members at Highland and Islands Airport Limited voted to accept a revised pay deal for 2022-23 which will end the current dispute. The offer provides a 7% uplift for those earning up to £44,000, 5% uplift for those earning up to £80,000 and 4% for those above £80,000. Jane Rose, Prospect negotiations officer, said "We are pleased that Prospect members have accepted this new deal and the dispute can now be brought to an end."
- Prospect has offered to suspend industrial action by fire and security staff at Highlands and Islands Airport Limited after an improved pay offer from the employer.
- Workers have been offered 7%, significantly better than the previous offer of 5% which had been rejected.
- Prospect members will now be balloted on whether to accept the offer.
- Strike action had been due to take place at Inverness and Dundee on Monday 13th and Friday 17th March – those strikes and the ongoing action short of a strike have been suspended.
- Jane Rose, Prospect negotiator said: "This is a welcome improvement to the offer from the employer which we will now be putting to members via ballot, although it is clear there are wider pay structure issues at HIAL which remain to be addressed."
The company is to be hit by a new wave of strikes next month. Prospect, Unite and the PCS union have already struck. Hial said the Scottish government had authorized additional flexibility through a non-consolidated payment.
