WORKERS at whisky giant Chivas Brothers could be set to walk out in a dispute over pay.
announced that staff at the global Scotch Whisky brand will now formally vote on strike action after pay talks collapsed.
It comes after members of the trade union and its sister unions “overwhelmingly” backed industrial action in previous consultative ballots. GMB Scotland notes that the vote has been called over the multinational producer of global brands including Chivas Regal, Glenlivet, Ballantine’s, and Royal Salute reportedly “refusing to revise a pay offer” of 6.4 per cent despite “surging sales”.He said: “Our members are being asked to accept a pay rise that is below the rate of inflation while reading how the owners are celebrating some of the highest sales ever recorded.
“It is no surprise our members have refused that offer and are united in their determination to take the action necessary to secure an offer that fairly reflects the value of their work.” Chivas employs around 1,600 workers across Scotland, including at the Kilmalid in Dumbarton, Strathclyde Grain Distillery, Glenlivet Distillery, and other maturation sites and distilleries in Clydebank, Speyside, and Ayrshire.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
