Workers manufacturing spare parts for Volvo and Scania Heavy Goods Vehicles will walk out next month.
GMB Union have today announced that workers at CNC Speedwell have voted overwhelmingly to support strike action in an ongoing dispute over pay.
Workers at the Walsall based company manufacture key components for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), including Volvo, DAF and Scania.
Staff are furious after company managers rejected demands for a pay rise of just £1.
Industrial
action could take place as early as February, with around 150 workers expected
to walk out.
Chris
Hoofe, GMB Organiser, said:
“These workers are key to the Heavy Goods Vehicle sector, producing components for companies across the UK.
“This strike could have a real impact and even a month of delays for some of the biggest brands in the industry.
“It’s time for company bosses to get back around the table and deliver the goods”.
