Unite members at Argos stand firm over strike action

1 August 2008

Unite members working in distribution centres for Argos across the Country are now on a four day stoppage.

Jennie Formby, Unite National Secretary says: “Our members voted overwhelmingly to reject the pay offer put forward by Argos and are currently on a four day strike.  These members are low paid workers and the offer is completely inadequate particularly in view of the massive profits the company has made this year and the huge bonuses paid out to senior executives.

“Our members are solid in their action and willing to continue to strike until the company agree to share some of their profits with the workforce.”
