Following a two-day RMT strike over the festive season, EDF Powerlink staff have won a 16% increase on overtime rates and a joint working party on pay, and have forced the company to drop plans to take banked rest days away from new starters.
The company had offered a weaker deal, but workers rejected it and went ahead with their strike, winning improvements.
There may still be battles ahead, but Tubeworker reckons there is a lesson in there for the rest of us.
