“Scrooge” pub bosses could see their boozers left without beer this Christmas as workers prepare to strike over pay, a union has said.
Unite the Union members at Greene King’s brewery will down tools on December 21 after the pub company offered a measly 3 percent wage increase - with inflation currently at 14.2 percent.
The chain pub company offered the increase alongside a one-off payment of £650 after five days of strikes ended on December 9 - but union members voted to continue the walkouts, with Unite saying the current offer would be a “very substantial real terms wage cut”.
