GSK workers to strike after rejecting pay offer

Hundreds of workers at pharmaceutical giant GSK will stage a series of walkouts in May in a dispute over pay.

Unite said that 750 of its members have voted for strike action after rejecting a 6% pay offer and a one-off lump sum of £1,300, describing it as “significantly below” inflation.

Unite said industrial action will be spread throughout May, with workers at six sites - Barnard Castle, Irvine, Montrose, Ware, Worthing and Ulverston - striking on different dates at different times.
