Workers at the Quorn factory on Teesside will begin all-out strike action this week in a row over pay. More than 60 staff at the meat-free paste production plant in Billingham are to walk out from Thursday, the Unite union said.
A spokesman claimed the strikes are expected to lead to shortages of Quorn products in supermarkets. The workers have already taken nine days of strike action in October over a 4% pay offer plus a one-off payment.
The workers are seeking a 9% pay rise – the RPI inflation rate in April, when negotiations began. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “The offer put forward by Quorn is a real-terms pay cut and completely unacceptable to Unite.
