Bristol Water walkout

GMB members at Bristol Water took strike action on 6 April for fair pay.

The company has imposed a pay freeze and no increase to pension contributions, despite Bristol Water's essential workers risking their health and that of their families to keep the taps on during the pandemic.

75% of workers voted for action and more action is threatened.
