MATALAN bosses have “lost their heads,” striking workers said after managers allegedly tried to restrict where they could picket.
GMB members on strike at the retail giant’s distribution warehouses in Knowsley, Merseyside, told the Star that local managers have been threatening court injunctions if they organise picket lines outside certain parts of the workplace.
A worker who asked to remain anonymous told the Star that staff have been picketing the gates of the company’s headquarters, which is also a entrance used by management.
