Diageo: ‘corporate greed’s poster child’
UNITE has labelled drinks company Diageo the “poster-child for insatiable corporate greed,” as Scottish workers launch a series of strikes against a real-terms pay cut.
More than 1,000 workers at the booze giant’s Cameron Bridge and Leven sites will walk out today and tomorrow, followed by further strikes over the next 10 days at Shieldhall.
They are angry that management refused to negotiate a better pay rise than the current 2.8 per cent, which is a real-terms pay cut.
