The country could be facing a shortage of pickles and vinegar according to union bosses after workers went on strike over pay. More than 50 workers at Mizkan Euro headquarters in Middleton have taken industrial action over the latest pay offer by the company responsible for producing well known brands such as Branston Pickle and much more.
Mizkan Euro say they believed they have offered staff a 'reasonable pay offer' in light of the rising cost of raw materials, transport and energy.
But, staff are striking after rejecting what has been described as a 'real terms pay cut' after the company failed to provide a pay increase that was in line with inflation.
