GMB WIN: Victory for members at Goodfish

GMB members are celebrating victory after receiving an increased pay offer from their employer, Goldfish in St Asaph North Wales.

All parties are pleased to announce that the negotiations, supported by ACAS, have resulted in members of both Unions voting overwhelmingly to accept a pay offer of a 1.5% increase backdated to 1^st of July 2021 and a 2.05% Increase from the 1^st of January 2022.

The result comes after a rocky dispute that saw the plastics manufacturer cancelling staff bonuses before previous day of action on the 13^th of October.

Goodfish had informed workers that they intend to implement a pay increase without agreement of the onsite unions, GMB and Unite.

Both unions have criticised the move, claiming that the below inflation pay rise will fail to meet the cost of living for striking workers, which led to several days of industrial action.
