Pay offer for meat inspectors

Pay offer for meat inspectors

MEAT INSPECTORS will next week discuss an improved pay offer that emerged during talks at the conciliation service Acas. A one-day strike by inspectors earlier this month closed abattoirs across the country. The union Unison wants a rise which would add 4 per cent to the salary bill to be nearer to the 4.7 per cent paid to other Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food staff.
