Strike action has been avoided at Northern Ireland timber and building merchant Haldane Fisher after the company agreed to a 12% pay increase.
Unite the Union said a majority of its members at the firm have agreed to accept the latest offer having previously rejected a proposal by the company’s management in July to increase pay by 6%. The union’s members had been due to strike on 30 th September but that has now been called off after the deal which will be implemented over 15 months.
Neil Moore, regional officer for the Haldane Fisher workers welcomed the deal.
