Transport and General in UK Ready for Industrial Action at Michelin

The Transport and General Workers’ Union of UK is polling 1,200 members at two Michelin plants for industrial action. Michelin’s wage offer in December of either 3% or GBP 650 is inadequate, and separate polling of the two workforces will begin this week. The two sites are Stoke in the Midlands with 400 T&G members and Ballymena in Northern Ireland employing 800.
