Refrigeration and freezer manufacturer workers to strike

WORKERS in West Yorkshire making refrigerators and freezers used by leading supermarket chains are to strike over pay.

Around 70 members of Unite at Bradford-based manufacturing firm EPTA, whose customers include Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons and the Co-op, have voted to withdraw their labour after rejecting a 4 per cent pay increase.

The union said the differential between the workers’ pay and the minimum wage had been “steadily whittled away over recent years.”
