We have USDAW at our DC and we have also rejected a 2.5% pay rise. As my topic on pay disparity, we the union members want the union to address the issue.
USDAW at my place too. Think next round is next week some time and yes 2.5% was rejected.
However just prior to this they uplifted wages for drivers on the “new” contract only by 7.5% - uplifted as in an increase on rates, written in the T&Cs and included in payslip hourly rates so not a temporary thing.
