Bosch Rexroth (UNITE) Strike Calendar

Over 280 Unite members are now set for strike action after 95 per cent of Unite’s members backed strike action in a high turnout. Strike action will start at 06:00 on 8 December and ends at 05:59 on 15 December. The escalating dispute is a result of Bosch Rexroth workers overwhelmingly rejecting new contracts which are detrimental to existing terms and conditions. The company plans to impose short-time working without the negotiated agreement with Unite. Workers could lose up to 40 per cent of take home pay per month equivalent to a monthly loss of nearly £1,000. Bosch Rexroth also plan to impose an annualised hours system which could put workers up to 70 hours in debt. If a worker is paid for more hours than they have worked, an employer can recover the overpayment on a debt basis.
