Iceland workers to strike over Christmas

365 workers at the Iceland distribution depot in North London will begin a series of one and two day strikes starting on the 8th December.

The workers are formally emplyed by DHL, but any pay increases have to be first authorised by Iceland according to the T&G union. The depot, which employs 250 warehouse operatives and 115 drivers supplies food to 180 Iceland stores in London, the South East and East Anglia. The T&G expects the strike to affect stocks in Iceland stores during the run up to Christmas.

Scotland: DHL drivers may strike

Several hundred drivers for DHL are to be balloted for strike action in Scotland by the GMB union.

DHL is planning major restructuring which could lead to 3,000 permanent staff being replaced with around 2,500 casual workers. Around 700 of the jobs under threat are expected to go in Scotland. The strike would include delivery centres in Paisley, Kilmarnock, Bellshill and Mossend.
