Workers at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd. will receive as much as an 18% increase in compensation for next year, which the Unite union claimed was a record increase.
Around 1,200 staff who put together the luxury brand’s Phantom, Ghost and Cullinan models at its factory in Goodwood voted in favor of a 10% wage increase along with a one-off payment of £2,000 ($2,430), the union said in a statement Friday. That translates into pay rises between 14.8% and 17.6% over one year for the grades of staff represented by Unite, it said.
