WORKERS at two distribution centres in Yorkshire are to stage 15 days of strike action against job cuts and low pay.

Members of general union Unite employed by logistics firm DHL Supply Chain are resisting the proposed closure of a warehouse in Harworth, South Yorkshire, where many of the 150 jobs are threatened.

Staff at Harworth and two other warehouses in nearby Tickhill are also protesting at a “derisory” pay offer of 1.25 per cent.

And there is further anger at staff affected by the closure being asked to relocate 20 miles to a site in Markham Vale, operated by a company called Great Bear, where workers are paid £1 less.

They will strike for 24 hours on May 15, for three days from May 25 and for 11 days from June 1.

Unite regional officer Harriet Eisner said: “Our members are not going to be pawns in some corporate cost-cutting exercise.”
