Pancake Tuesday is on Tuesday 25 February, but this is the key week of production

A Kingsmill bread lorry stopped at the entrance to the Allied Bakeries site in east Belfast and police were involved in mediating with trade unionists.Unite the Union regional co-ordinating officer Susan Fitzgerald said: "There will be no Pancake Tuesday celebrated in Northern Ireland and we hope to affect it elsewhere as well.

"During this picket we will be sending people to stand outside supermarkets leafleting, saying that other working people, in solidarity with Allied Bakery workers, should boycott Sunblest, Kingsmill and the other products that come out of here."We intend to disrupt that as much as we possibly can because we have no option.

"When working people are forced to go to this length for a fair pay increase, when this company pay out millions in bonuses to directors, we feel we are the support of ordinary people right across Northern Ireland and further afield."The company has it is proud of its reputation "as a long-term and stable employer in the community" and it was disappointed about the industrial action.
