Staff at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) are being balloted following a pay dispute.
The ECHO understands the company has asked to change an agreed pay deal with staff. A letter circulated among Unite the Union members at JLR's Halewood factory, which was shared with the ECHO, states the car manufacturer previously agreed to raise staff's pay by 12.2% but is now offering a 6% pay rise, plus a lump sum.
The letter states: "In the meetings, JLR have asked that pay for Year 2 be changed to a 6% uplift on your rate and a £5,000 sum with banked hours reduced to 100. We have stressed how disappointed we are with this approach and that you, the most important people, will have to be balloted."
