Agreement reached in principle with Prospect

– April 22, 2015Posted in: Features, Stornoway News, Western Isles

Following a meeting today between representatives of HIAL and the trade union Prospect, an offer was put to the union and agreement was reached in principle to resolve the dispute concerning airport security staff. This offer will now be the subject of a ballot of security staff.

Inglis Lyon, Managing Director of HIAL, said: “A revised offer was made to Prospect today which we understand will be the subject of a consultative ballot. Both parties have compromised and in so doing have secured some long term stability for the business. We are pleased at the progress we have made and believe that the agreement reached today delivers a balanced package of improvements to pay and conditions for security staff.”
