Union won't rule out strikes in sparks row

摘要

Union Unite has refused to rule out strike action over a dispute concerning the pay and conditions for electricians. A senior Unite source told Building this week a four-hour meeting of over 40 union shop stewards on Monday (4 August) resolved to continue to fight electrical contractors' proposals for a 5% two-year pay rise. Unite balloted more than 7,000 electricians and labourers last week and 91% rejected the pay package of 2% from January 2015 and 3% from January 2016.
