Staff working for Ford UK to strike for 24 hours
Published On Oct 29, 2024, 9:28 AM
More than 1,000 employees at Ford's UK sites are set to strike for 24 hours as part of a pay and contract dispute. The Unite union is demanding a permanent pay raise, while Ford has only offered a one-time payment for 2024 and is looking to change pay structures and sick pay policies. The union has accused Ford of failing to negotiate fairly, which they claim is motivated by corporate greed. The strike is expected to disrupt operations at several Ford locations across the UK.
