The seven senior workplace reps cover all Sun sites in the UK and all grades of staff from shop floor, laboratory, technical, sales, in-plant and administrative staff. Unite regional officer, Louisa Bull, commented: “This agreement is a real breakthrough for Unite members at Sun Chemicals. Our reps, members and the management have shown real vision in reaching this agreement. I am pleased that staff working for Sun Chemicals now have a modern and progressive union to represent them at work and we offer our congratulations to all concerned.”
