Battery company Britishvolt has signed an agreement with one of the company’s largest unions that paves the way towards union recognition at its Northumberland gigafactory.
The enabling agreement between Britishvolt and Unite the Union comes ahead of the company’s plans to open a plant at Cambois, near Blyth, in 2024.
Britishvolt wants to create 3,000 jobs on the site of the former Blyth Power Station coalyards with a factory making batteries for electric vehicles.
