Kingsmill workers on Merseyside win inflation-busting pay rise, union announces

STRIKING Kingsmill bakers on Merseyside are set to receive more dough after winning an inflation-busting pay rise, the BFAWU union announced today.

Allied Bakeries workers in Bootle have gained wage boosts of 8.7 per cent this year and 8.6 per cent next year, their union said.

The deal, which has been reached after the bakers went on strike in late May following a “year of failed pay negotiations,” was hailed as “history in the baking” by the TUC.
