Almost 200 workers at a flooring factory are to go on strike in a dispute over pay. GMB union members at Polyflor, a manufacturer of vinyl floorcoverings headquartered in Whitefield, Bury, will take part in industrial action tomorrow, Wednesday.
But the union said staff involved were told by bosses not to turn up for their shifts this week, which GMB described as a 'vindictive attack'. The move to strike comes after GMB said its members had rejected the company's final pay offer.
The union also hit out at the message from Polyflor to its workers, which the union said told them processing shifts were 'suspended' from 6am on Monday, September 5.
