Unite the union for workers in Gibraltar yesterday confirmed that the union’s members employed in the Industrial grades at the GHA have voted in favour of pausing strike action until the New Year to facilitate further talks and dispute resolution. 

A statement from Unite follows below:

A vote of 96% in favour of pausing action was delivered by members versus 4% in favour of recommencing strike action immediately.

Stuart Davies, National Officer for Unite Gibraltar stated: “Following the impactful strike action last week involving our members working within the Industrial grades in the GHA, the membership has voted in favour of pausing the action to allow for further negotiations with a view to resolving the dispute.

 “Unite calls upon the GHA and HMGOG to take full advantage of this pause in strike action to work with the union and our representatives to find a successful resolution to the dispute that recognises the contribution made by our members working as Domestics and Labourers. It is however a limited window and an opportunity that all parties should seize to find a negotiated outcome.
