Today 180 aircraft fitters are on strike at Marshall aerospace for a new grading structure. Pickets will be out all day.
This dispute has been going on for 4 years now without any progress. Last year's pay deal was accepted on the basis that a new grading structure would be introduced but management have now gone back on their promise. Members of the Amicus trade union have been balloted over industrial action and voted 96 % in favour. The current gap between the highest grade for skilled aircraft fitters and the next grade up is seven thousand pounds.
Picket lines will be outside Marshall's on Newmarket Road all dayso why not go downa nd offer your support?
