LOW-PAID migrant workers have won a 25 per cent pay increase less than a week after returning a ballot for strike action.

Mercedes Benz workers in Colindale, London, had overwhelmingly voted for strike action alongside 150 other comrades across Greater London in the United Voice of the World (UVW) union.

Workers across a number of organisations — ranging from private schools and the London School of Economics to Amazon and the Department for Education — voted for strike action to achieve equal terms and conditions with in-sourced colleagues and win at least the London Living Wage.
