Staff at Speke site set to ramp up industrial action today
Ford staff in Liverpool have today escalated strike action over what the union representing them claims is the company's refusal to address workers' concerns around pay and contract changes. Hundreds of Ford workers at sites in Speke and in Dagenham took part in one day of strike action on October 30. However this has been ramped up today on day one of a week of targeted industrial action. The Unite union says the action will intensify if the dispute is not resolved.
' Ford managers represented by Unite are also in dispute with the company over pay. They have been taking action short of strike action over Ford’s pay offer of only a performance related merit award, which they are not guaranteed to receive. Unite says it has offered 'affordable and sensible' counter proposals to end both disputes but claims Ford is refusing to engage in good faith negotiations.
