They will be taking part in four consecutive weeks of strike action.
Union members at a Glasgow coffin factory are taking further strike action amid an ongoing pay dispute.
Meanwhile, Unite says they have found that Cooperative Funeralcare spent over £1 million last year on purchasing coffins from third-party suppliers, and made a profit of £12 million in 2021. Sharon Graham, Unite's general secretary, said: “It’s simply disgraceful that the Co-op, an employer that can easily afford to raise pay, would rather waste £1 million on alternative products and see this dispute stretch into its fourth month than pay its workforce fairly."The Co-op’s management is clearly trying to break its own loyal workforce but Unite will back our members all the way in their fight for better jobs, pay and conditions.
"Management are currently forking-out more cash to third-party coffin suppliers rather than allocating a fraction of that money towards solving this bitter dispute. That’s the current state of Co-op values.
