Engineering staff at the firm's Fife bottling plant are planning a series of strikes from Saturday.
Engineering workers at whisky giant Diageo's bottling plant in Fife are set to launch a series of strikes in a dispute over pay.
Unite said action would begin in Leven on Saturday for 48 hours, with further stoppages planned until 3 April.Diageo, which makes Johnnie Walker and Smirnoff, disputed the claim but said it remained "committed to seeking a resolution". In a statement, the trade union claimed some of its engineering members were set to lose about 6% of their pay at a time when Diageo's operating profits had risen sharply.He said: "The reason why Diageo is able to generate billions in profits is because of the skilled work of its workforce.
"Our engineering members who keep the bottling plant safe to operate at Leven have been left with no choice but to take a stand against Diageo.A spokeswoman for Diageo said the dispute was with 10 of its weekend shift engineers over the number of night shifts required and "associated shift premiums"."We are proud of the pay and benefits packages we provide to our people across all our sites, but unfortunately, this group of 10 employees have rejected our proposal.
"We have well developed contingency plans in place to ensure the site can continue to operate safely and as planned.More on this story
