GPMU wins compensation

Print union GPMU has won six-figure compensation for two members injured at work. A printing machine assistant had his left hand crushed when a winding machine malfunctioned as he attempted to remove a piece of paper. He worked for Quebecor Printing (UK) in Corby. He received a £650,000 pay out and will be unable to work again. The union also secured £120,000 compensation for a member who was badly injured after falling backwards off a printing press at Acorn Web Offset in Yorkshire while trying to adjust a top ink duct.
