Gate Gourmet agreement reached

A mass meeting of the workers who were sacked by Gate Gourmet on the 10th and 11th August overwhelmingly voted on 28th September to accept an agreement negotiated by the ITFs affiliated union in Britain, the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU).

Shop stewards and members accepted a settlement that will see the great majority of the sacked members going back to work or taking voluntary separation. The remainder, who would have faced compulsory redundancy under the company's plans prior to the dispute, will now have representation and access to an appeals procedure following a fair
process - these members will at least now receive compensation whereas otherwise, they would have received nothing.

"We would like to express our thanks to the ITF and its affiliates for their support and solidarity", said Brendan Gold of the TGWU.

The ITFs Ingo Marowsky said, "During the period of implementation of this agreement, the TGWU will closely watch the process - and the ITF and its affiliates will be ready to stand by the TGWU should further support be needed."
