Ideal Standard’s Rugeley factory workers have backed strike action over years of real term pay cuts.
Workers have been left disappointed by a suggested pay uplift that would not correct previous below inflation pay.
Justine Jones, GMB Regional Organiser, said:
“Every worker deserves decent pay – but years of below inflation pay have left Ideal Standard’s workers struggling financially, especially as we are still in the midst of a cost of living crisis.
“We have engaged with the company in good faith, showing clearly what the workers deserve following years of below par pay increases and the employer needs to take their employees seriously.
“Ideal Standard need to come to the table with a decent offer, otherwise these workers will be left with no choice but to take strike action.”
