Red Bee Media pay deal agreed
Following Ericsson's acquisition of Red Bee members support a seven-month settlement
ISTOCKPHOTO
U
nion members at Red Bee Media have
voted to accept a seven-month pay deal.
In a consultative ballot, which closed on
n
10 September, members approved a 2% pay
eptember,
rise by an overwhelming majority of 87.4%.
The 2% pay rise was offered to all staff,
he
excluding those in the Creative Divireative
sion, after significant negotiations
between the union and Red Bee
Media.
All fulltime staff will receive a 2%
increase, with part-time staff receiving
a pro-rata increase. The offer includes
he
raising bank holiday, night shift and
days conditions allowances by 2%. Designated
home
workers
will see their annual allowance rise by £1
a week bringing the amount to £208
per year.
The seven-month pay offer was made in
he
the context of RBM's recent acquisition by
Ericsson; the new parent company aims to
migrate RBM staff into its company-wide pay
policy, hence the shorter than usual settlement period. BECTU will submit a further pay

Red Bee's many services include creating brand
identities across multiple platforms
claim ahead of the new annual review date
of 1 April (previously 1 September).
BECTU tried hard to secure an across the
board increase for members in the Creative
Division who rely on an established perforperfor
mance-related pay system for pay increases.
The union did not succeed in moving
management on this point but will revisit
the issues affecting Creative in pay talks
in 2015.
In a letter to members on 27 August,
national official Noel McClean said:

"It is the unanimous view of your
negotiating team that we recommend
you vote yes to accept the pay offer."

BECTU originally sought a 4% increase,
but Red Bee Media's offer would actually
equal 3.4% if applied to a full 12-month
period.
"2% for such a short period stands up well
compared to other settlements," said McLean.
"We have secured almost the full value of
our claim albeit for the seven months, and
we will be pursuing a new claim in April next
year." l
