STRIKE BALLOT: Unite announced yesterday that its members at Oscar Mayer in Wrexham are voting on a call for industrial action.

The ballot has been sparked by the company’s decision to revise contracts, failure to consult, misuse of performance management processes and failure to recognise Unite for collective bargaining, the union said.

Unite called on the company to return to the negotiating table and resolve the dispute before it escalates. The company was asked to comment.
