Strike action at the Galloway Hydro Scheme has been averted.
Unite union members at Glenlee power station had voted for action after rejecting an eight per cent pay offer from operators Drax Hydro.
However, they have now accepted an improved offer of eight per cent along with a one off £1,500 payment and an extra day’s holiday.
Unite general secretary, Sharon Graham, said: “Unite’s members at Drax Hydro secured this significantly improved wage offer because they were prepared to take strike action for a fair wage, backed by their union all the way.
“Unite is pleased to have successfully negotiated this valuable deal and to enhance the jobs, pay and conditions of our members during this cost of living crisis.”
Meanwhile, Drax has handed a funding boost to local food banks.
The firm donated £22,000 to a variety of organisations, including homelessness charity Shelter and food banks near the Galloway Hydro Scheme.
Head of community, Shona King, said: “Drax has a long history of supporting charities, and it’s important that we and other businesses do so now more than ever as people are struggling with the ongoing cost of living crisis.”

Charna Flam Donald Trump has been arrested, as New York law enforcement continues its extended investigation into the former president’s involvement in a “hush money” scheme with adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Although he will not be handcuffed, get a mug shot or be given a perp walk, he was effectively arrested by surrendering to the court. The April 4 arraignment is about to take place in a Lower Manhattan courtroom. Trump was spotted leaving Trump Tower in Manhattan around 1:10 pm EST and then drove downtown in a large motorcade. On the walk from Trump Tower to his vehicle, Trump held his fist up and also waved. He also addressed the crowd in the same way when walking from the vehicle to the courthouse.
Ellise Shafer A New York grand jury has voted to indict former president Donald Trump over an alleged 2016 hush money scheme, the New York Times reports. The Associated Press also confirmed the news with Trump’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina. Four people with knowledge of the matter told the New York Times on Thursday that the felony indictment “will likely be announced in the coming days.” As the indictment is sealed, the exact charges are unknown for now, but they have to do with his role in allegedly paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, the Times reports. According to the AP, Trump is expected to surrender to authorities next week. The indictment makes Trump the United States’ first president to be criminally charged, and certainly puts a damper on his upcoming try for a second term in the 2024 election.
