Workers at a Merseyside car parts business are voting on whether to go on strike after a union warned nearly 90 workers could be made redundant.
The Unite union has been balloting workers at the International Automotive Components (IAC) site in Halewood for strike action after news of planned redundancies emerged earlier this month. The US-based company makes parts for cars and its Halewood site supplied the nearby Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) plant.
JLR recently reduced the number of shifts operating at its Halewood plant as it struggles with a global shortage of semi-conductors, which is causing major issues across the automotive industry. The car giant has moved from two regular shifts to one for at least the remainder of 2023.
