UNITE claims to have secured a pay increase for tanker drivers employed by Fuel Transport & Logistics on the Morrisons fuel contract.
The 150 strong workforce had balloted for industrial action, in a dispute over pay, but following a strong ‘yes’ vote in favour of strikes, further talks were then held with the company’s management.
It was agreed that the workers would receive a 13.5% increase for 2022, a 10.5% increase for 2023 and a guarantee that next year all drivers’ salaries will increase to £65,000 per annum.
