Jacob's staff 'working in terrible conditions' at Aintree factory

Jacob's workers have demanded better working conditions at the Aintree factory as a pay deal row rumbles on.

Staff at Jacob's Bakery in Aintree have been carrying out a series of 12-hour stoppages at the site in a fight for a fairer pay deal. But as this week marked the start of an "all out" strike action, workers say they will not stop until they get a pay deal that "reflects the current crisis".

Staff at the factory made the decision to take strike action against Pladis, who own Jacob's, after members "voted overwhelmingly in favour of both strike action and action short of a strike". The ECHO understands the GMB Union, who represent Jacob's workers, put forward an 8.5% pay rise proposal which was "refused".
