Pay dispute ends at Peterborough Council

Accepted offer will see 3.6 per cent rise in workers’ pay for the year 2024 - 2025

An ongoing pay dispute involving Peterborough Limited – a company owned by Peterborough City Council – has ended after workers accepted an improved pay offer for the financial year 2024 – 2025.

Members of GMB Union voted with a majority of 89 per cent to accept the deal.

The result of the ballot means that industrial action related to this dispute is now off the table.

Negotiations will begin shortly for this year’s pay award, as well as transfer terms for the insourcing of some Peterborough Limited workers back to the council.

Gordon White, GMB Regional Organiser, said:

“Our members stood together and held out for the best possible offer.

“This is a fantastic result for them, and they will receive much deserved and needed back pay.

“We will maintain this momentum for upcoming pay and insourcing negotiations.

“Our priority is to ensure that both our members remaining in Peterborough Limited and those being insourced by the council receive a fair deal.”
