flag Edinburgh Airport workers averted strikes by accepting a pay deal with raises and improved benefits.

flag Edinburgh Airport workers have called off planned strike action after overwhelmingly accepting a two-year pay deal, averting potential disruptions. flag The OCS Group employees, who assist passengers with reduced mobility, voted in favor of a deal including a 6.1% hourly pay rise backdated to January 1, 2025, a further 5% increase in 2026, improved sick pay, and higher overtime rates. flag The agreement follows rejection of a previous £12.60 hourly offer, labeled "poverty pay," and was hailed by Unite the Union as a major victory driven by worker resolve. flag The outcome prevents 14 planned strike days in September and reflects broader labor tensions across the UK, though immediate threats at the airport have been resolved.
