Grampian dispute continues
Further strikes are expected at Grampian Country Food Group following clashes over pay and pension cuts.
Little progress had been made in talks with the company since workers went on a 24-hour strike last Thursday, said bosses at the Transport and General Workers Union (T&G).
“The T&G will not allow our members or our representatives to be treated with contempt and are not going to go away, no matter how long it takes," said a spokesman.
The strike, which involved 1,400 pork and poultry workers, was the result of a dispute over pay, pension cuts and the "increasing casualisation of the workforce", claimed the union.
The six sites involved were: Cambuslang near Glasgow; Coupar Angus in Perthshire; Fairview near Edinburgh; Llangefni on Anglesey; Wiveliscombe in Somerset; and the Grampian-owned Welsh Country Foods on Anglesey.
