A Teesside energy from waste company faces strike action over a massive real terms pay cut.
Around 100 GMB members at Suez Recycling and Recovery UK, in Haverton Hill, are ready to walk out.
Almost 99 per cent reject a pay offer of 6 per cent during a consultative ballot. Workers have seen there real terms pay cut by more than 30 per cent since 2012.
A full strike ballot will begin in the coming days.
Andrew Blunt, GMB Organiser, said:
“GMB members work hard shifts and unsociable hours to provide for their families.
“Yet since 2012 have been thanked with a real terms cut of, in some cases, more than 30 per cent.
“Meanwhile, Suez continues to make eye watering profits.
“All our members are asking is a fair reward for their efforts – it's up to bosses to provide that an nip this industrial action in the bud.”
