The proposed strike by air traffic controllers at St Mary’s airport has been averted.
Three controllers were set to stop work this week due to dissatisfaction with the results of a recent job appraisal.
Talks between the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) the Transport and General Workers Union and the Islands’ council has ended in an agreement to halt the industrial action.
It was decided that ACAS would assess whether the council’s job evaluation scheme was “fit for purpose” for the work of the Air Traffic controllers, as well as re-examine the results of the previous evaluation.
