UNITE members have voted to accept a pay deal following 14 days of strike action against the finance sector outsourcer Diligenta.

More than 1,000 workers walked out in a fight against a real-terms pay cut for 2025 at its sites in Liverpool, Glasgow, Reading, Edinburgh and Stirling.

They voted to accept a multi-year pay offer linked to inflation covering 2025, 2026 and 2027 following an “intense period of negotiations,” a Unite spokeswoman said today.

This includes an additional day of leave annually and a commitment to full pay transparency across all the company’s workplaces.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said the workers had shown “incredible strength and unity.”

“By standing together Unite members have made it clear that fair pay is their basic right,” she said.

Unite officer Helen Camp said: “Unite will continue to work with members across Diligenta to ensure management now deliver on their promises for pay transparency and cultural change across the organisation.”
