Biffa bin lorry drivers ballot for strike action after rejecting “insulting” pay offer

Yodel said it was working with the GMB union to resolve a row over pay and conditions as the firm’s LGV1 drivers vote on whether to take strike action.

The threat of further industrial action by drivers and warehouse staff at white goods manufacturer Indesit has receded after conciliation talks held at Acas last week led to a revised pay offer.

Union Unite remains optimistic that most of the jobs under threat as a result of a restructure at TNT Fashion Group UK can be saved, regional officer Nick Halton told Motortransport.co.uk after an initial consultation meeting with the company.
