24-hour strike to begin tomorrow in long-running dispute over pay and contract changes
Workers at a Merseyside Ford factory will walk out on strike tomorrow as part of a national day of action. Over 1,000 administrative staff are set to take part in the 24-hour walk-out tomorrow. This will include staff from Ford's Halewood plant in Knowsley as well as at sites in Dunton, Stratford, Dagenham, Daventry and Halewood.
' Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Despite its huge wealth, Ford has launched a direct attack on its office workers’ pay and terms and conditions. The only reason for this is corporate greed. “The company’s appalling treatment of our members has simply made them more determined to fight against these cruel and unnecessary changes and for a fair pay rise. They have Unite’s total and unflinching support as they strike for a better deal.
