Caterpillar makes 'take it or leave it' offer to NI staff

Members of the Unite union, employed by Caterpillar in Larne and Belfast, have been on strike since April

Members of the Unite union, employed by the firm in Larne and Belfast, have been on strike since April. Caterpillar said it is offering a 9% base salary increase effective from 1 April 2022 and a one-time lump sum equal to 2.6% of wages earned from 1 April 2021 to 1 April 2022.'Anti-trade union'"It's just a clear attempt to circumvent the collective bargaining process and its an anti-trade union tactic," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra programme.

A major union objection to the package is that it is tied to a change in overtime arrangements which would involve compulsory overtime to deal with periods of high customer demand.
