Workers supplying the UK’s favourite Peri-Peri chicken are preparing to strike, says GMB.
GMB Union has today warned of the potential for Nandos shortages on highstreets and delivery apps across the country.
The warning comes as workers at the restaurant chain’s main poultry provider, Avara Foods, are considering strike action.
Over 500 Avara workers could join the strike action after bosses threatened de-recognition of their trade union.
Avara is one of the UK’s largest suppliers of poultry products to supermarkets and restaurants, including Nandos.
Rachelle Wilkins, GMB Organiser, said:
“We live in uncertain times and a Nandos shortage during the school holidays is the last thing our already embattled nation needs.
“A cheeky Nandos is a national past time; for Avara bosses to put this in jeopardy is unforgivable.
“We’re calling on bosses to get back around the table and end this threat to our members right to a collective voice in bargaining for better pay, terms and conditions”.
