There will be packages at some point relating to older b2 grades and some c3 grades. In majority though, these talks may have something to do with government , as the hard line stance of truss and kwarteng over oat rises has been somewhat toned down with the new government. Kwarteng of course was business sec before chancellor too so I wouldn’t be surprised if any hard line stance in industry has changed with that post also being refilled too.
There are numerous companies now back at the negotiating table
Clearly the cwu acrosd the board demand for 10% isn’t going to happen , I foresee a new slightly improved offer , with an additional 1 off payment and an ability to claim on both sides that low paid workers have secured a 10% consolidated rise.
