Notts Greene King staff to strike over Christmas in pay dispute

Greene King workers in Nottinghamshire are set to take part in national strike action as they call for 'fair pay'. Staff will take part in three days of strike action from December 21-23, with further strike days between December 28-31.

With the real inflation rate currently standing at 14 percent, this "still amounts to a very substantial real terms wage cut", Unite says. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Greene King’s ultimate owners are the Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison Group. They are incredibly wealthy so Greene King workers should be paid fairly. Instead, workers are being offered a pay cut dressed up as a pay rise.

Unite regional officer Mark Jaina said: “The strike action means popular beers like Old Speckled Hen could run out this Christmas and New Year but this dispute is entirely down Greene King’s refusal to make a fair pay offer. The workers are standing firm and action will spread into 2023. It’s time the company stopped playing Scrooge and started genuine pay talks.”
