IndustriALL Global Union affiliate Unite the Union launched a strike on 27 May including 300 engineering service workers. The strike was a protest against a tracker system used for measuring workloads known as VAMS, deemed unreliable according to Unite.
An agreement has now been reached, providing safeguards for the workers, and as a result Unite's members are returning to work.
Unite national officer Linda McCulloch said:
The agreement provides mechanisms that will ensure that VAMS accurately records and measures the workloads of the employees.
This is a successful outcome that could have only been achieved by the 100 per cent solidarity shown by our members during the course of this dispute.
