Following weeks of campaigning by GMB members, a pay deal has been delivered by refuse workers employed by Serco in Charnwood Borough.
This new deal was accepted by members in a ballot of GMB members and means planned strike action in the borough will be suspended.
Jim Clarke, GMB Regional Organiser, said:
“This is a big win by GMB members and reflects the fact these are key workers delivering vital public services for local people.
Support from local people for refuse workers in Charnwood has been overwhelming, and I will like to pass on the thanks of our members to them.
GMB is the union for all refuse workers and is committed 100% for delivering the reward and recognition they deserve”.
