Hackney Traffic Wardens To Receive Proper Sick Pay
Traffic wardens in Hackney in east London have won a major victory after Unite the union secured them the London living wage and a proper company sick pay policy, following last ditch talks to avert strike action.
APCOA Parking, the workers private sector employer, had no company sick pay policy, with members only entitled to statutory sick pay (SSP). The company has now agreed to introduce a sick pay scheme of 15 days over a rolling year.
The deal, following talks at the conciliation service Acas, also sees the London living wage introduced with immediate effect and backdated to November 2014, along with a 1.5% pay increase.
The firm has also committed to upgrade traffic warden pay each November in line with annual increases to the London living wage.
The 30 employees, members of Unite who previously staged two days of strike action in August, will vote on the new deal at a meeting on Tuesday 10 November.
