The Unite union confirmed on Monday (24 July) 600 of its DHL members at the airport, contracted by easyJet, had voted to accept a 15% pay rise, as well as an uplift in skills pay, meaning their hourly rates will increase by between 15% and 31%.
This comes is in addition to a new shift premium of £1.25 per hour when working between midnight and 4.59am.
“This is an excellent result secured by the steadfast position of our DHL members,” said Unite general secretary Sharon Graham. “Once again, workers are gaining real material benefits from Unite’s absolute focus on improving jobs, pay and conditions.”
