Somerset workers to strike against below inflation pay offer

WORKERS in Somerset are set to strike against a below-inflation pay offer and the “intransigence” of their managers that led to talks hitting a “brick wall.”

The 65 workers, who are Unite members, overwhelmingly rejected a 2.8 per cent pay offer that would start in January of this year.
