Pilkington glass strike called off to consider new pay offer

Strikes by glassmakers employed at the Pilkington factory in St Helens have been suspended following an improved pay offer from the company.

Unite the union have confirmed that strikes due to take place between 17 August and 23 August have been postponed to allow the workers to vote on the new offer.

If the offer is rejected, further strike action by the more than 170 workers – including production operators, warehouse staff, engineers and technicians – will be scheduled.
