Following intense negotiations with senior management GMB members now have a pay deal that they approve and are happy to accept.

GMB members at DHL Banbury are engaged with warehousing of medical devices, pharmaceutical and clinical trials logistics and supply chains. Providing a peerless service to specialist users and medical professionals.

Stevey Robertson, Lead Convenor and GMB Branch Secretary said:

“We will always do our best to reach agreements and negotiate for the betterment of our members' lives.”

Steve Garelick, GMB London Region Oganiser said:

“During what is one of the defining periods of our lives from an economic, social, health and political perspective, when other workers are being offered negligible pay increases and are unlikely to have union representation this pay award is a reminder that GMB Union will do all it can to help members increase their pay.

“An improvement for all workers is sought at this most precarious of times and we hope this increase will send a message to employers everywhere to do the right thing by staff.”
