New Pay Offer Agreed For HTC Plant Crane Drivers
HTC Plant crane drivers have agreed a new pay offer, putting an end to their industrial dispute.
The strike scheduled for tomorrow, 21 November, has now been called off.
The three-year pay deal is worth over 14% on basic rates. The new agreement also means that the bonus rate has been consolidated into the basic rate and a further raft of expenses and allowances, which workers previously enjoyed, have been reinstated.
Steve Murphy, General Secretary of construction union UCATT, said: "This is a victory for common sense. We welcome the agreement as it gives stability to both sides. Our members have certainty about pay and HTC have certainty over their future business costs."
