Hundreds of Jacob's staff strike outside factory in row over pay

Workers at Jacob's Bakery formed a large picket line outside the entrance to the factory as part of a dispute over pay.

A large number of workers at the factory formed the picket line for a second day in a series of 12 hour stoppages at the site. Hundreds of members of staff at the site in Aintree first walked out on Monday, September 26 in a fight for a "fairer pay deal".

The Jacob's factory on Long Lane produces millions of cream crackers each year - with more than half a billion individual crackers sold each year. The site has been operating in Aintree for over 100 years and it was the first Jacob's factory to be built in England.
