Pilgrim's Food Masters staff gain six extra annual leave days
28 staff members at Pilgrim’s Food Master’s Southall site will benefit from six additional days of paid holiday per year, following successful negotiations between management and GMB Union.
GMB pushed for the extra days after discovering that the affected members – who work in night hygiene - were not receiving sufficient time off for their shift patterns.
The additional time off will greatly improve their work-life balance and overall staff morale.
Steve Garelick, GMB Regional Organiser, said:
"This is a fantastic outcome for our members at Pilgrim’s.
“It shows what can be achieved when unions and management engage in meaningful dialogue.
“Six extra days of holiday will make a real difference to these workers and their families.”
Rupinder Sandhu, GMB representative and Pilgrim’s employee, added:
"We are so grateful for GMB's hard work and dedication.
“Getting these extra holiday days is a huge boost for us.
“It means more time with loved ones, more time to recharge, and it truly makes us feel valued by both GMB and Pilgrim’s Food Masters."
