 JJB Sports has more than 400 shops in the UK |
Staff at sports retailer JJB have accepted a new pay offer, calling off further strike action. The GMB said its members at the firm's warehouse in Wigan, Greater Manchester, backed the deal to raise hourly rates to �6 from the current �5.20 or �5.50.
Staff have walked out several times in the past few months in a dispute over pay and conditions.
Strikes planned for Wednesday and Thursday, an overtime ban and work to rule, have now been called off.
GMB official Graham Coxon said: "This has been a great victory for the will and fortitude of GMB members at JJB Sports, who have been on the minimum wage for far too long."
