Currently reading: Strikes at Mini’s Cowley plant called off after pay offer

Initial dates have been called off, although strikes could take place in May if the offer is rejected

Planned strikes at the Mini factory in Cowley (Oxford) have been called off because an improved pay package has been offered to workers, a top workers' union has said. 

Around 150 workers were due to strike because of the pay dispute, leading to fears that car production at the facility could grind to a halt.

Fair play to them. Particularly when direct employees in similar roles at the site will be earning 30-40% more. Employees at BMW's German facilities wouldn't put up with it, neither would they be treated like it.

£12.50 should be the minimum wage.

Red Robbo, now there's a blast from the past.

As long as the previous management don't make a return the I'm sure they'll be able to work things out.
