The union says 76.2 percent voted in favour, although only 21.5 percent of members took part.

In an interview via Zoom, Unite's National Officer Stuart Davies acknowledged that turnout in the ballot was disappointing, but said the result represented clear support for the agreement among those who voted.

The Gibraltar General and Clerical Association says it will hold a vote to ensure members are satisfied with the public sector pay deal.

With Unite members voting to accept the agreement, GBC asked the GGCA if they would follow suit.

GGCA President Darren Cerisola said members were also balloted before the negotiations on what they would be willing to accept.
