Future job creation in food waste services, expected to deliver 60 jobs in the coming years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nGMB said the agreement also protects employees under threat from being outsourced, safeguards ill health packages for leavers, and ensures members will not lose any income, holidays, pensions, reward days, or allowances.<\/p>\n
Bernie Cleary, GMB Regional Organiser, said: \u201cThis deal is the culmination of months of open and honest negotiation.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first time in 34 years and numerous transfers to different companies, these services are coming back into public ownership \u2013 reversing the disastrous privatisation agenda of the Thatcher era.<\/p>\n
