The Metallurgical and Related Industries Union (SIMA) has withdrawn the strike notice issued by Menzies (formerly Groundforce), following an agreement reached with the company’s management at the Ministry of Labor, Solidarity and Social Security.

In a letter sent to the company, SIMA states that following the agreement, its members “will not strike.”

“The strike notice in question is ineffective, given the understanding reached between the SIMA Trade Union Committee and the company’s representatives at the Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security with the Ministry’s representatives,” the document states.

The cancellation comes after strikes were held from July 25th to 28th and August 8th to 11th, demanding an end to basic wages below the minimum wage, better wages, and the enforcement of night shift pay, among other demands.

The strikes scheduled for August 15th to 18th, August 22nd to 25th, and August 29th to September 1st are therefore null and void.
