Essex aerospace workers accept improved pay offer
It affects workers at five sites across the UK - including Basildon.
Workers at aerospace company Leonardo at five sites across the UK - including Basildon - will see a significant pay increase after taking strike action.
Staff based at sites in Yeovil, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Basildon and Luton at the manufacturer, which makes vital defence equipment for the UK armed forces, including helicopters and radar, have accepted a new offer from the company worth eight per cent over two years.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “There is power in a union and workers at Leonardo should be proud of the increased pay award they have secured."
Unite members had already taken strike action and had more dates planned across the autumn and winter but have now cancelled further industrial action.
