Trinty Mirror - Local Bargaining Deals

Industrial action by Unite members at Trinity Mirror newspaper printing sites was averted after FOC's and MOC's were given assurances regarding local bargaining.

Action, short of a strike, was initially scheduled to begin last week after Trinity announced a nationwide pay freeze last year.
However, all sites except for Oldham have agreed terms.

Negotiations at Oldham are expected to concluded this week, although Unite national officer Steve Sibbald said that action could still take place at the Greater Manchester facility.

He added: "This was always more about assurances regarding individual bargaining and each site now has that assurance. We have also had discussions regarding a possible bonus, which we were not expecting. If that does happen Trinity will probably be doing better than most in its sector."
