'We will win this dispute'

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham stood with striking Weetabix engineers on the picket line on Wednesday (September 29) at the company’s factory in Kettering.

The workers are striking over Weetabix’s brutal ‘fire and rehire’ ultimatum that will slash their wages and conditions.  Based at the company’s factories in Kettering and Corby, they face changes to their shift and working patterns that would result in some engineers losing as much as £5,000 from their yearly earnings.  

Sharon Graham vowed that they will win this dispute together – and their victory will give other workers the confidence to fight fire and rehire in their own workplaces.
