Technicolor 3.5% pay increase

BECTU members at Technicolor Film Laboratory have voted to accept the company's back-dated pay offer of 3.5%.

Members voted for a 3.5% pay offer, back-dated to April 2006, on basic pay plus all shift and overtime payments.

The pay offer was agreed unanimously at a general meeting of the Branch on 4 February 2007.

The long delay in settling the 2006 pay claim was caused by the redundancy round in the summer and autumn - members agreed to focus on negotiating a decent package for those losing their jobs.

Negotiations for the 2007 payround will start very soon.
