Workers at a pallet warehouse in Trafford are to end their long-running strike action after voting to accept an inflation-beating pay deal with bosses.
Unite union members at CHEP UK, based at Trafford Park, have been on strike since December after calling on the company to increase pay to help address the cost of living crisis facing the workers and to recognise their contribution as key workers through the pandemic.
They were set to strike until at least May and were in the process of balloting on whether to continue their industrial action into the summer. The workers have now agreed on a nine per cent pay increase, which is worth £2,500 on average. The 21-week action was already recognised as the longest strike in Unite Union's 15-year history.
