Strikes by more than 60 Hull and East Riding Citizens Advice workers have ended after an improved pay offer was accepted. 

The offer, secured by Unite, the UK’s leading union, includes a £1,500 consolidated payment across all grades for 2022/23, as well as a £425 non-consolidated payment. For 2023/24, the workers also received a £1,000 consolidated payment across all grades. In total, the workers have received an immediate payment of £2,925.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Well done to our Hull and East Riding Citizens Advice members, who took strike action for the first time in the organisation’s history and won.

“This is yet another result that shows how Unite’s unrelenting focus on improving jobs, pay and conditions is putting money in our members’ pockets.”

The workers, who began strike action in July, will now return to work as normal after voting in favour of the deal. 

Unite regional officer Mike Wilkinson said: “This result could not have been achieved without the hard work and determination of our reps and members at Hull and East Riding Citizens Advice. This is a perfect example of why those wanting to improve their wages and working lives should join Unite and get their colleagues to do the same.”
