Industrial action at BSW Timber‘s Senghenydd Sawmills has ended after the GMB Union accepted the company’s original wage offer tabled earlier this year.

A series of one- and two-day strikes were called by the union, which claimed workers had not been given a pay rise for two years.

But a meeting between the two sides on May 12 concluded with a successful wage resolution.

A BSW spokesperson said: “It was disappointing that the union implemented a period of industrial action and we are pleased that the issue has now been resolved. During the one- and two-day strikes production continued at the mill and our high service levels were fully maintained.”

The company employs 65 people at the Senghenydd mill, Caerphilly, which it has operated for 25 years.
