HGV drivers for popular bread brands accept 8.5 per cent pay rise

HGV DRIVERS delivering some of Britain’s most popular bread brands have accepted an 8.5 per cent pay rise, Unite said today.

Some 60 workers based at Allied Bakeries’ Sighthill depot in Scotland overwhelmingly accepted the two-year deal.

Due to rota changes within the agreement, drivers will get an extra day’s holiday, on January 2, every other year.
