Holidaymakers warned ahead of summer strike action at Glasgow Airport
Unite the union said workers at Glasgow Airport, ICTS Central Search, Swissport, Menzies Aviation and Falck could be balloted for walkouts. The union said on Saturday that if there is no successful resolution to the disputes in the coming days, it will move towards holding votes on industrial action within two weeks. It warned strikes could 'ground planes and passengers'. READ NEXT: Scotland's largest teaching union launch consultative ballot for strike action (Image: Image of Glasgow Airport) Pat McIlvogue, Unite industrial officer, said walkouts could be held from the middle of July. More than 100 Swissport workers are locked in a dispute about rotas and work-life balance, according to Unite. It said the company 'is demanding that workers at extreme short notice have to work shifts at various times and for various durations, which is directly impacting on their personal lives'. Unite said some Swissport staff are 'struggling with chronic fatigue'. A further 250 ICTS Central Search workers, who deal with passengers directly in the security search area and process them for flights, are currently involved in a dispute over under-staffing, working conditions and pay. A total of 120 workers employed by Glasgow Airport Limited have rejected a basic 3.6% pay increase, with staff including airport ambassadors, airside support officers, engineers and managers involved. The same 3.6% pay increase was rejected by 50 Falck firefighters who perform fire safety functions at the airport. Meanwhile 300 Menzies Aviation workers, including dispatchers, allocators, airside agents and controllers, have rejected a basic uplift worth around 4.25%. READ NEXT: Global lifestyle brand to open first-ever store in Glasgow The union recently announced a series of what it said were wage wins for 100 North Air workers across Scottish airports, and more than 140 staff based at Glasgow Airport employed by ABM and OCS. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Hundreds of workers at Glasgow Airport are heading towards summer strike action which would ground planes and passengers. 'The companies involved are all highly profitable and can easily afford to give our members better pay and working conditions. 'The truth is that they are denying fair pay increases to cynically boost their profits.' Mr McIlvogue said: 'Unite is in dispute with companies at Glasgow Airport which could ultimately bring hundreds of workers out on strike. 'The companies can resolve these disputes with Unite before that situation happens by addressing the legitimate concerns and pay aspirations of our members. 'If the companies refuse to work with Unite to resolve these disputes, then we will have no option but to open strike ballots. This could mean strike action happening from the middle of July.' A spokesperson for Swissport said: 'We are in dialogue with Unite – the talks so far have been constructive and we remain focused on working together to address the issues being raised.' Glasgow Airport Ltd, ICTS Central Search, Menzies Aviation and Falck have been contacted for comment.

Scottish hotspots named among the UK's best places to retire
A number of factors were considered when curating this ranking, such as property prices, crime rates, amenities and entertainment. Glasgow and Edinburgh named among the best places to retire to in the UK Crime rates, property prices and amenities were considered when making this ranking (Image: Getty Images) Glasgow and Edinburgh, which were the only Scottish locations to be named among the best to retire to in the UK by Rest Less, were praised as "beautiful" cultural centres full of cafes, bars and museums. Discussing Scotland's capital, the website said Edinburgh has consistently ranked as one of the most desirable retirement locations in the UK, with it claiming the top spot all the way back in 2019. The research, which was undertaken by estate agent comparison site looked at where the highest proportion of retirement properties for sale were, as well as the ratio of homes to stock sold. Discussing the spot further, Rest Less dubbed it a "cosmopolitan town" with "plenty going for it." With dozens of historic sites, museums and attractions, as well as the world's largest arts festival, the city is sure to keep those in their golden years busy. However, it was noted that these "attractive points" mean house prices here are much higher than the Scottish average, standing at around £338,307. Glasgow was praised as a cheaper Scottish alternative to Edinburgh (Image: Getty Images) Glasgow, on the other hand, was celebrated as a cheaper alternative to the Scottish capital. House prices here average at around £229,959, according to the site, and while the city has had a reputation for being "rather gritty" in the past, it is now undeniably a "national hub of culture". The city is home to the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, ensuring there is plenty to go and see. Last year, Glasgow was named one of the best cities to retire to because of "key factors" like its cost of living and the amenities on offer. Using these metrics, each location listed by Moneypenny was given a score. Recommended Reading: Glasgow was given a rating of 3.8, putting it above other popular retirement hotspots like Newport and Kingston upon Hull. It ranked well for its cost of living as well as the number of cafes and golf clubs around the city. The Scottish location was also praised for its great number of fitness clubs and green spaces.

I tried supermarket Aperol dupes – my £7 winner tastes exactly the same and makes the perfect summer cocktail
Scroll down to find out how to bag a bargain PUTTING ON THE SPRITZ I tried supermarket Aperol dupes – my £7 winner tastes exactly the same and makes the perfect summer cocktail IF there's one drink that embodies summer, it's the Aperol Spritz. And with temperatures set to soar in the UK, now is the time to pour yourself a tangy, crisp and refreshing, tangerine-tinted aperitif. 8 Consumer journalist, Lynsey Hope, put Aperol dupes to the test A bottle of the original tipple will now set you back around £18 depending on where you shop. So, of course, the high-price tag has prompted some supermarkets to introduce their own, cheaper versions. But are they going to hit the spot on a sunny day? Aperol Aperitivo Italian Spritz (70cl) 8 Aperol Aperitivo Italian Spritz was not Lynsey's favourite £17.65, ABV: 11 per cent At nearly £18, this market-leading aperitif is the priciest on my list but if you stick to the recommended measurements you will get 20 servings out of it, so I still didn't think it was too bad in terms of value for money. It has that distinctive luminous orange colour and I very much enjoyed my tipple. It has a more natural and herbaceous taste than some of the 'dupes', which I enjoyed. Worth mentioning also that it's fairly low on booze with an ABV of 11 per cent. Fragrant and moreish - but surprisingly, it wasn't my favourite. Taste: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 8/10 Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Orange Spritz Aperitif (75cl) 8 Lynsey thought Sainsbury's version was refreshing ABV: 8 per cent £6.50, Light and easy to drink, I found this refreshing and very easy to knock back on a summer's day. I tested all the supermarket Aperol knock-offs and the best was a THIRD of the price of real thing It was much fizzier than the big brand and whilst I enjoyed the taste, it did have a slightly bitter aftertaste. It's not as boozy as the original but it's over £11 cheaper so a very wallet-friendly tipple AND a bigger bottle." Taste: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 7/10 Lidl Bitterol (70cl) 8 The Lidl Bitterol Aperitivo scored the highest £6.99, ABV: 11 per cent An almost exact copy of the original Aperol. It has the same glowing, blood-orange huge and a same 11ABV. Made up into the classic Spritz cocktail, the taste really hits the spot, with the familiar rhubarb, fruity and woody notes that sit somewhere between sweet and sharp in the glass. Served over ice with prosecco and soda, it's really hard to tell the difference between this and the original - except at the till where it's less than half the price. Definitely worth stocking up for summer. Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Overall score: 10/10 Aldi Aperini Aperitivo Spritz (75cl) 8 Aldi's drink was a close competitor £4.29, ABV: 6.9 per cent One sip of this and I very nearly thought I was drinking the real deal. It's not as boozy with a low 6.9 ABV and the orange colour is much lighter. It was quite sugary and the texture was a little more syrupy than the others. But it had the full and vibrant taste of the branded drink. Loved the bursts of citrus and rhubarb. It's only a little over £4 - amazing value. Taste: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Overall score: 9/10 Casa Savoia Americano Rosso (50cl) 8 The Savoia Americano Rosso is more expensive than the original £22.25, ABV: 18.6 per cent It's more expensive than the original but this comes in a super pretty bottle and would make a lovely gift. It's mixed so you only need to add the prosecco and ice to make your aperitif. It can also be used to make negronis if you prefer. The bitter sweet flavours are perfectly balanced with notes of bitter orange, cassia, cinnamon, rhubarb and a whole host of other botanicals. Really enjoyed this and nice that it's so versatile. It's not a big bottle and I definitely would have liked more of it. Taste: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 8/10 M&S Low Alcohol Aperitivo (50cl) 8 M&S offers a low alcohol alternative £13, ABV: 0.5 per cent For a low alcohol alternative, I really enjoyed this. It had subtle flavours of juniper, pink pepper, coriander, cinnamon and lavender. The flavours were quite smoky and it wasn't overly sweet like many of the low alcohol drinks on offer. Refreshing, with a hint of vanilla. Loved this with soda or low-alcohol Prosecco. Taste: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Overall score: 6/10 Tesco Spritzi Aperitivo Blood Orange (75cl) 8 Tesco offers an affordable price point £5, ABV: 8.4 per cent A zesty white wine-based drink which is pre-mixed so you don't have the faff of mixing it up on your own. It's quite aromatic with floral notes but more subtle in flavour than the Aperol. It was missing a bit of juiciness and a bit of punch and I thought it tasted artificially sweet. A good price at Tesco though and a decent helping of booze. Taste: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Overall score: 7/10
