Thousands of workers at Rolls-Royce in Filton are set to receive an extra £2,000 to help with the soaring cost of food, energy and petrol prices. The money will be handed to junior managers and shop floor workers, it is understood.
A total of 14,000 staff at the aerospace giant's UK plants in South Gloucestershire and Derby will receive the payment, according to Sky News. Around 11,000 UK staff will also be given a 4% pay rise backdated to March.
The cash lump sum will be given to 3,000 workers in August, while another 11,000 union workers will receive the money once Unite approves the payment.
