The strike action will take place on Wednesday (12 January) at 6am and conclude at 05:59am on Thursday. Some 95.7 per cent of the eligible workforce previously voted in support of strike action in late November on an 84.4 per cent turnout. The pay dispute originates from early 2021 when Unite’s members were informed by FLB that there would be no pay rise. Unite is demanding a six per cent pay increase at a time when the cost of living is at a ten-year high. If they do not then rolling strike action will hopefully knock some sense into management.”ENDS
