Following a workplace ballot for union recognition through the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC), we are delighted to announce that we have won Community recognition for warehouse workers at Euro Car Parts Tamworth T1 and T2 sites.
The union achieved a 46.5% turnout through a postal ballot with 96.5% of the votes cast supporting union recognition.
We have had an active membership across the two sites for 8 and a half years and have represented hundreds of members with individual disciplinary and grievance matters during this time. This ballot result means that going forward we will be able to elect and train a workplace rep committee and campaign for better pay and terms and conditions on behalf of the entire warehouse workforce.
Community National Secretary, Gavin Miller, has a message for the workforce:
This win has been achieved because of the strong desire from the workforce to support union recognition and have a say in their working conditions. We believe that this win is well overdue after almost a decade of hard work supporting members and look forward to winning on behalf of the workers at Euro Car Parts going forward.
