Major strike action could take place aimed at bringing Jaguar Land Rover's plant at Halewood "to a standstill".
The Unite union is preparing to ballot its workers employed by logistics and courier firm DHL at the huge Halewood plant for strike action. The union says the move id a "direct result" of the company's management refusing to respond to serious safety concerns and allegedly victimising Unite representatives.
The workers are employed by DHL on the logistics, distribution and transport contract for Jaguar Land Rover at its Halewood plant in Merseyside and plants across the Midlands. The Halewood plant in Knowsley is a major economic asset to the region and employs thousands of local people.
