NI Water: Members of Unite union suspend strike after pay offer

About 100 members of the GMB workers at NI Water are still being balloted on strike action as part of the pay dispute.

Unite regional officer Joanne McWilliams said workers had been waiting for 21 months “for a pay increase all other civil servants have already received”.

“Disgracefully it took the threat of industrial action at the heart of winter by low-paid water workers to break the ministerial log-jam holding up this money,” she said.

NI Water workers last took part in strike action from December 2014 until January 2015.

A subsequent review stated, external there was “significant disruption to water supply in parts of Northern Ireland” which “resulted in consumers losing their water supply”.
