BETTER DEAL AT DALE FARM
Unite members working as drivers and engineers at four Dale Farms sites across Northern Ireland voted decisively to accept a significantly improved pay offer after workers announced escalating strike action, writes Keith Hatch.
Unite represents around 100 workers at the production sites in Cookstown, Ballymena, Omagh and Enniskillen, who agreed to the pay offer worth an extra 4.75 per cent.
Management only made the improved offer after workers announced plans for industrial action commencing with an initial three-day strike in September, escalating to all-out strike action during the fourth week.
General secretary of Unite Sharon Graham said, “Dale Farm workers have scored a clear win on pay. This result demonstrates the importance of having strong unions in the workplace to deliver on workers’ jobs, pay and conditions.”

Unite regional officer Simon Hall said “Unite members have voted to accept a significantly improved pay offer. This goes some way towards improving the rate of pay of a skilled workforce.
“We will continue to build union strength with the aim of ensuring Dale Farm’s success is properly shared with its employees.”
