Thales Workers Win Above-Inflation Pay Deal | Glasgow News

Workers at Thales’ Govan plant in Glasgow narrowly avoided strike action thanks to a landmark pay deal negotiated with Unite the Union — delivering a 4.3% raise backdated to January, beating inflation. The facility, vital for supplying the Royal Navy with periscopes and optronics masts, just landed £1.1 billion in export contracts. Meanwhile, Thales is exiting its stake in the Watchkeeper drone project, handing it over to Elbit Systems UK — signaling major business shifts. A win for workers, proof that dialogue can deliver real results. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
