The trade union which represents the workers, Prospect, has given notice to HIAL that workers in Air Traffic Control will be escalating their industrial action over the Remote Towers project.
Air traffic controllers at Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd are to take industrial action.
If the air traffic controllers approve of this then a short strike would start on 4th of January 2021.
All proposed industrial action is now suspended until after the ballot result.
Members of Unite the union at Sullom Voe Terminal, Shetland have voted for strike action by 94%.
The Scottish Court Custody and Prisoner Escort Service (SCCPES) had attempted to cancel their GMB membership by stopping their union dues paid through the employer payroll check-off system.
On 9th of February 1972 A State of Emergency was declared in the UK due to the effects of the Miner’ Strike.
The pay imposition will result in staff receiving less than £10 an hour for the next two years.
“Strike action is now on the table and a real prospect.”
“The deal has required compromise on both sides and I would like to thank Scottish Ministers for giving HIAL the authority to reach a deal, and we look forward to working constructively with HIAL in the future.”
