Factory workers are set to walk out next week following a dispute over pay.
Hundreds of members of staff at the Jacob's factory in Aintree are set to walk out on Monday, September 26 in what will be the first in a series of 12-hour stoppages at the site. As the cost of living crisis continues to grip households across the UK, employees are fighting for a "fairer pay deal".
The Jacob's factory on Long Lane in Aintree produces millions of cream crackers each year - with more than half a billion individual Jacob’s crackers sold each year. Employing hundreds of staff, the site has been operating in Aintree for over 100 years and it was the first ever Jacob’s factory to be built in England.
