What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

GMB confirmed that its members at the Urenco facility in Capenhurst have accepted a pay offer, bringing a long-running dispute to a close. The deal, which was reached after months of negotiations, was ratified by a ballot of over 80 per cent of GMB members. The new terms increase pay by 4.5% and provide long-term certainty on raises linked to the RPI measure into 2030.
