The Unite union says its pay dispute could result in 'empty tables this Christmas'.
It said it was taking the action in protest against the Shropshire-based logistics company Culina, which it said had not offered its delivery drivers a pay increase.Culina's contract is with Avara Foods in Hereford, which delivers poultry from abattoirs to warehouses belonging to Tesco and Marks and Spencer.
The Unite union has warned there could be a "shortage of Christmas turkeys" as a result of its planned industrial action and that families "could see empty tables this Christmas". It accused Culina of playing the role of Scrooge and said: "Despite being in pay negotiations since April, no offer has been made to drivers who have been left with little choice but to take industrial action."
The union also warned more strike dates could be announced if the company did not come back to the negotiating table with an improved offer.Hospital porters' strike called off for second timeTeacher's pay rise simply impossible, says minister
