Workers at a pharmaceutical giant with a plant in the North East are being balloted for strike action after turning down a 4% pay offer.
More than 150 members working at the GSK plant at Barnard Castle, County Durham, have begun voting on strike action which could result in a walkout at the end of April.
It is understood that they have rejected a 4% pay offer, which came with a one-off payment of a week’s wages.
