A strike by coffinmakers at the Co-op's only UK manufacturing site is set to bring production to a "complete stop", unions have warned.
Co-op Funeralcare is one of the UK’s biggest funeral directors. Some 50 workers at its plant in Bogmoor Place, Glasgow, have rejected a pay offer which union Unite has called a “real-terms” pay cut.
Unite would not confirm what the Co-op’s pay offer was but said the offer was “less than half” of the latest estimate of RPI inflation at 12.3%.
