Pratts Bananas, one of the UK’s leading fruit importers, and GMB, one of the country’s biggest trade unions, today warmly welcomed the results of an ACAS membership check of GMB union members which will now lead to a voluntary bargaining agreement being signed by both parties. The GMB’s involvement will further support Pratts at their site in Luton, which employs nearly 500 people.
Robert Wells, Managing Director or Pratts Bananas, said: “This is a
great result, now we can move forward with the GMB working alongside us
to support our staff and ensure that Pratts continues to grow and
strengthen its existing business.
“Our workers are the number one priority and now we can continue the
job together of developing the company and continuing our reputation of
providing quality produce and quality service to our customers
”.
Alan Costello, GMB Officer, said “This a great day for all the relevant
parties involved and in particular the 500 employees at Pratts Bananas.
