GMB union, representing workers at Rolls-Royce Submarines, has today reacted to the news that Rolls-Royce and the Ministry of Defence have reached a £9bn agreement on the future of the UK’s Nuclear Submarine fleet.
Lesley Waudby, GMB’s Senior Organiser, said:
“This is a hugely important moment for workers here in Derby and beyond.
“Our city is at the heart of this vital industry and contributes so much to Britain’s defence and our wider economy.
“The news that this agreement will bring with it job security as well as new opportunities will be welcomed by workers and the wider community”.
