GMB Union has today announced two dates of industrial action by drivers at Movianto in Coventry.
The strike comes after a below inflation pay offer was made by company management at its West Midlands HQ.
Movianto is a major healthcare logistics provider to private clients and the NHS.
Drivers at the company are responsible for transporting essential and often lifesaving medicines, including individual prescriptions and NHS medical supplies.
The strike action is due to take place on Thursday 6 and Tuesday 11 April.
Rebecca Mitchell, GMB Organiser, said:
“Our members at Movianto do essential work, keeping often lifesaving medication and supplies moving around the country.
“They deserve fair and honest pay that recognises the value of that work.
“Strike action is a last resort, especially considering the significant disruption it could cause to Movianto supply chains.
“We urge company management to urgently get back around the table with a fair offer that reflects our members contribution to the company.”
