Staff at the Co-op's only UK coffin manufacturing factory are taking further strike action.
The Unite union said about 50 workers at the Co-op factory in Glasgow will walk out for a week from Monday until Sunday 11 December.Factory workers rejected a pay offer of 4% for 2022 and 5% for 2023.Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "The Co-op seem to be revelling in playing the role of Scrooge this Christmas.
"Unite's members deserve a fair pay award yet they have been made an offer which falls three times behind the current cost of living. "This is totally unacceptable and our members will have their union's full backing in this fight for better jobs, pay and conditions."
