Last year, our members at Sherwin Williams (Speke, Liverpool) reluctantly accepted a 4% pay rise. This year, they are determined to receive a better pay offer, which equates for the changes throughout the site; including a smaller workforce, a 33.9% increase in retained profits on the previous years and an enormous turnaround in the site's productivity and standards.
Dear Members
Following on from the hard work of our National Representatives, a further 56 ASDA stores have been removed from the original proposal, and Colleagues at those stores are no longer at risk of redundancy.
This comes after ASDA looked into the challenges raised by GMB union with regards to the current night operation, things that would make the new proposal very difficult to operate.

GMB union Regional organiser, Marie Saunderson, said ‘’It is down to the collective organisation and strength in our membership, that the government have got the message. We are serious, with a large percentage of the union membership in agreement and prepared to fight for fair terms of employment. They tried, but can’t ignore the collective strength of a unionised workforce.’’
An increase of RPI + 2% on all spinal column points
As we enter into what is our fifth day of action the support of all members and the public remains resolute.
The UK government are still not listening despite improved offer in both Wales and Scotland.
They instead are forcing through legislation to make it illegal for us to take action as an emergency service.
