GMB@EDF Generation

Dated November 2016 (No.61)

Dear Colleagues

As you know, GMB’s response to the company’s attack on our Agreements has been to ask GMB members what you would be prepared to do about it. 

I am very proud to report that 88% of GMB members who voted said they would be prepared to take industrial action to defend our Agreements, including the recent 3-year pay deal, Outages and others.  

Thank you to all members for taking part and for your support. This is a powerful message that says GMB members are determined to fight for their rights.

After the good progress reached at the meeting with the company last month, GMB will now park any further industrial action preparations in favour of the review on the usage of Contractors and other non-permanent staff, and the reconfirmation that Agreements - and how they are made - will be honoured.

If you have any questions, please speak to your Reps.  GMB will keep members informed of any developments. 

Thank you again for your support.
