'Struggling' Jacob's staff will strike 'until the end' as they fight for a fair pay deal

Families face "disappointment" on Christmas day as a long dispute over pay means strike action continues.

The ECHO previously reported how staff at Jacob's Bakery in Aintree are set to go on a "permanent strike" as they continue to fight for a "fair pay deal". Staff at the plant in Aintree have been taking limited industrial action since September, but walked out on Monday on indefinite strike.

As hundreds of staff members continue to strike, they say they are prepared to "fight until the end", but added it is a "stressful time". Eamon O’Hearn, national officer of the GMB union, previously said: "These workers are rightly angry - they put themselves on the line to keep the company going during the pandemic. Now they need some help to get them through the cost-of-living crisis, but it’s falling on deaf ears."
