Jaguar Land Rover workers are in line to receive an extra £1,000 if they approve a new pay deal.

Trade union Unite has agreed an inflation-beating, two-year pay and conditions deal for their members at the automotive giant.

Under the terms of the new deal, workers will receive a two per cent pay increase in the first year and in the second year will get a pay increase in line with the retail price index inflation rate, plus 0.5 per cent.

In addition, if workers approve the deal, which has an anniversary date of September 1, they will receive an additional £1,000.

In a statement, Unite said it believed it was reasonable to calculate that the two-year pay deal was worth 8.4 per cent for the workforce.

The union said it had also secured recognition for the first time for many junior managers at the company as part of the deal along with improvements in the company's defined benefit pension scheme.

Jaguar Land Rover is headquartered in Coventry and operates factories in Birmingham, Solihull and Wolverhampton alongside a plant in Halewood, Merseyside.
