"Pre-Christmas strikes looming as Morrisons warehouse workers begin balloting in dispute over pay", 17 November 2021

More than 1,100 workers employed at Morrisons supermarket distribution centres have begun balloting for strike action in a dispute over pay.

The dispute is a result of the workers, who are members of the union Unite, receiving an 'entirely unacceptable' pay offer.

Most workers have been offered a three per cent pay increase, although the lowest paid have been offered two per cent.

The union says these offers are far below the current rate of inflation...

If members vote for industrial action then strikes could begin by mid-December...

A spokesperson for Morrisons said: "We are still in formal negotiations and are due to meet with Unite again today."
