Dear GMB members,
Following your rejection of the previous offer received, GMB representatives have reconvened discussions and have negotiated an improved offer that we believe meets the expectations of the membership. We have listened to the concerns raised and substantially improved their offer, Year 1 and agreed a guaranteed minimum payment in years 2 and 3.
1. The pay offer received is as follows. A 3-year deal equating to a minimum of 10% over 3 years a.
Year 1 - 3.6%, applicable from July 1st (RPI) figure as of today.
b. Years 2 and 3 - 3.2% or RPI (May's date released June) - whichever is higher
- Average holiday pay increased by 1 day in year 2 and 3 of the deal (25 to 27 in total)
- Paternity contractual pay rate, paid for 2 full weeks from 1st January 2025 forward. Previous
1 week pay. - Jury service contractual pay rate paid for 2 full weeks from 1st January 2025 forward.
Previous no pay. - Grading reduced from 18 months to 12 months from Grade 0 to 1 on the 1st of January 2025.
- Flex blocks 10 weeks (Blocks to be reduced to 10-1-week blocks if business conditions require) from 1st January 2025 and subject to business conditions.
- Guidant workers with 18 months service as of 30th September 2024, will be offered permanent contracts on the 1st of Jan 2025 as a one-off action.
The GMB believe that the offer received gives protection on inflation rates with RPI guaranteed over the 3 years period with a guaranteed minimum in place. The offer also offers job security with positive contractual changes to terms and conditions.
Back payments will be made in October on basic payments and allowances with any holiday pay amendments paid in November 2024.
Back payments will not be paid to employees who have left the business including Guidant Global before the 12th of September 2024.
The GMB are Recommending ACCEPTANCE of the offer received as it is the best that can be achieved through negotiation.
Workplace ballots will take place between Tuesday 3rd September and Wednesday 11th September.

JCB cabs 43 hours request
Dear GMB members,
It is understood that during a briefing today at JCB cabs systems reference was made that I have agreed to the imposing of the 43-hour agreement for next week, this was verbally communicated via a JCB manager.
To be clear on this matter I have not agreed to anything on behalf of any member on this matter and that the current working agreements should be supported wherever possible alongside work life balance being considered.
No GMB representative regardless of position has the authority collectively force agreements that are voluntary. The company can request a reasonable about of overtime but that should consider personal circumstances.
I hope this helps to clarify the situation.
Regards
Stuart Harrison
