Unite members at Corus to ballot on pay deal

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.
