Latest Updates (1)
Nearly 100 workers employed by Valley Vets in South Wales are to take the first ever strike action at a private veterinary practice, Unite, the UK’s leading union, said today (Tuesday).
Valley Vets has offered its lowest paid staff a derisory pay rise that takes them to slightly above the minimum wage. This is despite 80 per cent reporting that they regularly borrow money to meet basic living costs and five per cent reporting having to use food banks. Meanwhile, higher paid workers have been offered increases of between one and 1.5 per cent from April 2024. The offer is a real terms pay cut as the RPI rate of inflation was 3.3 per cent when deal was due to be implemented.
