Win for staff in NATS Scotland
The PCS members have received a substantial pay rise after threatening to vote on industrial action.
Thirty six PCS members working as air traffic service assistants at Prestwick Control Centre were preparing to vote for industrial action after learning they were earning £2,349 less per year than their colleagues doing the same job elsewhere in the UK.
But before the ballot opened, employer National Air Traffic Services agreed to raise their pay to the same level.
PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said: “We’re delighted to have resolved this dispute before it started. This victory shows, beyond doubt, there is power in a union.”
