Paperworkers in the UK represented by Graphic Printing & Media Union (GPMU) are on the verge of industrial action following a breakdown in talks with the Confederation of Paper Industry companies. The ICEM affiliate sent notices to some 12,000 members that industrial action could commence after 26 August if progress is not made in talks. Union workers in the paper sector voted for possible industrial action last June. GPMU has rejected a proposal by the industry for a 2.85% pay increase.
