Coventry-based Jaguar Land Rover workers secure 11% pay rise
The rise will benefit 20,000 workers.
A pay rise of 11% has been secured for workers at Coventry-based Jaguar Land Rover.
The rise - secured by Unite the Union - will be given across two years.
20,000 workers will receive a six percent rise from January 2024 and an additional five percent from January 2025.
The deal, which will benefit workers at JLR sites in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Warwickshire, Liverpool, Solihull and Coventry, was negotiated without the need or threat of industrial action.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “This deal, negotiated through regular pay talks, shows the benefits of belonging to a union. Unite is totally focused on defending and improving our members’ jobs, pay and conditions and results like this show that strategy is paying dividends for workers.”
Unite national officer for automotive Des Quinn said: “This pay deal is a prime example of the power of collective bargaining: When workers stand together in a union, they win. Those wanting better working lives and wages should join Unite and get their colleagues to join as well.”
