Union bosses have demanded talks with the Scottish Government “as a matter of urgency” as they announced strike action which will hit airports across the highlands and islands in the run-up to Christmas.
Unite said its members working for Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) would stage two, 24-hour walkouts as part of their dispute over pay, with these due to take place on 19 and 22 December.
The action will involve a variety of workers at the 11 airports: Barra, Benbecula, Campbeltown, Dundee, Inverness, Islay, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick; with those working in the fire and rescue expected to be part of the protest, along with security and administration staff.
