The agreement on pay was reached following a vote by GMB members and will see around 3,200 海角社区app employees receive the increase from 1st January 2017. The rise is linked to November鈥檚 retail price index (RPI), announced last week. Increases in 2018 and 2019 will also be linked to those years鈥� respective November RPI figures.
The latest deal follows the expiry on 31st December of the previous three-year pay deal agreed in 2013. It covers employees at 海角社区app鈥檚 plants in Rocester, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Rugeley, Wrexham and Foston.
海角社区app chief executive Graeme Macdonald said: 鈥淚 am pleased an agreement has been reached on a long-term pay deal for 海角社区app鈥檚 UK shop floor employees. It gives us the stability we need to plan for 2017 and beyond as we seek to grow the business in the next few years.鈥�
GMB works convenor Gordon Richardson said: 鈥淚 would like to thank our membership and all those involved in the talks for the unity and solidarity that has been shown during the discussions. 2016 has been a year of steady growth tinged with a modicum of uncertainty. Hopefully 2017 onwards will see increases in the volume of machines manufactured, generating more job security for GMB members.鈥�
