Union backs Tunnock's offer

Workers at biscuit company Tunnock's will be urged to accept a new pay offer aimed at revolving a dispute.

Unite said it had held constructive talks at the conciliation service Acas yesterday with the company, which had tabled an improved pay offer.

The union said it would strongly recommend acceptance of the offer to staff on Monday.

Regional officer Derek Ormston said: "I'm pleased that Tunnock's have finally tabled an offer which we can strongly recommend to our members."

Workers at Tunnock's in Uddingston, have staged two one-day strikes and have rejected an offer of 2 per cent.
