Unite has warned Ford it intends to ballot roughly 11,000 members for industrial action in response to the company's 'attack' on its current and ex-employees' pensions.
Hundreds of workers fighting to save their jobs will rally on Saturday 26 February to voice their concerns over Burton’s Foods plans to close the biscuit factory in Moreton.
Len McCluskey, Unite general secretary, said: “Taxpayers will today be baffled as to how it is possible that while we own 84 per cent of this bank it continues to so handsomely reward its investment bankers."
Unite is delighted this deal has been put together and it’s a testament to the workforce's determination to save the plant.
In a postal ballot 87 per cent rejected the proposals from the Conservative-led council.
The coalition has been accused of ‘playing fast-and-loose’ with the truth by Unite, the largest union in the country, in attempting to deny the scale of cuts to mental health services.
