Passage 1
A new pay deal, under which long-standing union demarcations are being bought out, has been agreed for workers in Rolls-Royce‘s aero-engines division. It is expected to lead to productivity improvements of up to 70 percent.
The deal has been struck for almost 3,000 workers at the Parkside factory in Coventry and marks the most dramatic of productivity-linked agreements, which have become commonplace in Rolls-Royce in recent years. Coventry pays high wages and as a consequence had to achieve higher productivity improvements.
Mr. Peter Burden, site director at Coventry, said last night: I believe this plan is the springboard for us to become one of the world leaders in the aero-engine industry. We know that we shall be up there in the league table, but what position we occupy will depend very much on our competitors. The Coventry agreement, signed after more than 18 months of negotiations, covers the 2,000 manual workers who will remain at the end of the year after 700 workers have left under a voluntary severance programme.
