Union members at Rolls-Royce will vote on an increased pay deal after weeks of negotiations with the jet engine manufacturer. A previous one-off cash bonus of £2,000 and a 4% pay increase for Derby workers was rejected by the unions Unite and GMB at the end of June.
Further talks took place on July 21 in a stage two (final stage) dispute resolution meeting, reports Derbyshire Live. A newsletter to union members said: "At the end of these intense discussions a full and final offer was made by the company. However, on July 22, the company indicated a desire to make an improved revised offer to the negotiating team. The offer was not finalised until July 29.
"The company’s offer for 2022 is a 6.5% increase to all salaries and scales effective from March 1, 2022, without any other strings. Your negotiators agreed with the company to present this offer back to you, the membership, to have your say in the form of a ballot."
