Wage Board UK 4-Cent Hike For GM Workers

The measure, conditional for similar auto industry raises without price hikes, aims to keep a general pay policy on hold. Eric Johnston backed a strong hold-the-line stance, pushing against higher pay lifts beyond 10 to 15 percent and resisting broader price boosts.
