Three members have volunteered to become union reps to help make AXA a better place to work and assist their colleagues with any workplace issues:

Brian Collins (Birmingham)

Julia Lawrenson (Bolton)

Alan McGill (Ipswich)

Thanks to all for volunteering.

Sadly Fatima Oomer and Husna Patel have stood down as reps in Bolton and we’d like to thank both of them for the help and assistance they have provided both Unite in AXA and the union members in Bolton over recent years as workplace reps.

Unite members in AXA Belfast and the Direct Branch Network have voted to accept the company offer of a 3% pay pot and a new starters salary of £12,400, rising to £13,400 after probation.

For: 82.98%

Against: 6.39%

The balance of papers were not returned.

These figures are similar to the voting on the AXA UK pay offer were members voted 88.05% in favour of their offer and hopefully demonstrate that the vast majority of Unite in AXA members were pleased with the efforts of the union negotiating team.
