Thousands of Unite members at Corus to be balloted on improved pay
offer
4 August 2010
Thousands of Unite members working for Corus across the country
are to be balloted over an improved pay offer of 3.2 per cent,
backdated to 1 April 2010, with a one-off payment of £200.
Unite has over 8,000 members working at Corus spread over its 15
UK sites.
Unite national officer for the Steel Industry, Terry Pye, said:
“After months of long and tough negotiations this is a breakthrough
in the pay negotiations and this new offer will be well deserved by
our members. This new deal offered by Corus will also go some way
to rebuilding trust with management.
"Whatever the outcome of the ballot with our members on the
revised pay offer, we are pleased that the company has made a
significant improvement to the pay offer, which we are recommending
to our members.”
The ballot will commence immediately and the union will have the
results in the next four weeks.
