Workers at Jacob's Bakery 'not valued' as strike action enters fourth week

Workers at Jacob's Bakery said they "don't feel valued by the company" as strike action enters its fourth week.

More than one hundred workers gathered outside the gates of the factory in Aintree for the fourteen time in the last month. The workers have been carrying out a series of 12 hour stoppages at the site in a fight for a "fairer pay deal".

Staff at the factory made the decision to take strike action against Pladis, who own Jacob's, after members "voted overwhelmingly in favour of both strike action and action short of a strike". The action short of a full strike started on September 26 in a form of an overtime ban and a ban on training colleagues on the transfer of skills.
