Workers at the Pontypridd based company [see notes for address] have seen a 6 per cent real terms cut in their wages this year, following a 7 per cent cut the year before.
GMB union has vowed to escalate the action if the company continues their refusal to meet.
Gareth Morgans, GMB regional officer said:
“These below inflation pay awards are driving our members into poverty.
“We’re hopeful the company will come to their senses and get back round the table.
“If not we’ll be escalating the action with further strike dates.
“Have no doubt, GMB will stand by our members throughout this.”
