Telecoms & Financial Services


Outsourced workers at SPS UK&I have accepted a pay deal which sees a nearly 7% pay bump for some workers.

Following negotiations between the employer and Communication Workers Union (CWU) representatives, workers at the documentation services contractor voted by 60% to accept a deal which gives pay rises ranging from 3.94% to 6.86% to different employees.

This pay bump comes on top of 12 employees already receiving a 3% wage increase to achieve the national living wage of £12.71 an hour in April.

CWU National Officer Tracey Fussey said: “This deal has been achieved by the members who know their worth and are willing to stand up.

“I would like to thank everyone who participated in the ballot – the company has now been notified.”
