Cleaners at Glasgow Airport have secured a 10% pay rise, a trade union has announced.

Unite the Union said 60 workers employed by ABM overwhelmingly backed the “double-digit” wage offer.

Effective from April 2024, the pay deal will raise basic pay to £12.10 per hour – up from £11 per hour in the previous year.

Night shift pay rates will also increase to £12.90, from £11.50 an hour – which is the equivalent to a 12.2 per cent rise.

Pat McIlvogue, Unite regional industrial officer said the pay rise “represents another success story for Unite at Glasgow Airport”.

He added: “The ABM pay offer was overwhelmingly accepted by our members at Glasgow Airport.

“We have worked hard to ensure that the cleaners get a decent pay award year in and year out. The 10 per cent pay rise will give our members a boost to their pay packets and represents another success story for Unite at Glasgow Airport.”

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite has delivered another significant win at Glasgow Airport for our ABM members.

“This has ensured a double-digit pay rise for two years running.

“Crucially it delivers a pay rate for our members above the real living wage. Unite does what it says on the tin, we win better jobs, pay and conditions for our members.”
