UNITE general secretary Sharon Graham joined striking Capita workers in Manchester today.

The workers, who are employed in Capita’s life and pensions division where they work on the contract for insurance giant Royal London, walked out after their employer failed to make a fair pay offer for 2024. 

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Capita is a multimillion-pound company that can fully afford to make workers a fair pay offer but has chosen not to in order to boost their profits. This is about greed not need.
 
“These Unite members have stood up and taken industrial action to demand a fair deal and they have the union’s unflinching support.”
