Trucker and shunter drivers represented by the union Unite took strike action on Friday at AG Barr’s production and distribution centre in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire.
A union has warned that Irn-Bru supplies could be disrupted as drivers walk out in a dispute over pay.
The strike comes after workers rejected a 5% wage rise, which Unite said equates to a “significant, real-terms pay cut” due to inflation. “AG Barr’s stinginess has escalated this dispute when it could have been easily resolved with a fair pay offer.”Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “AG Barr can afford to pay its trucker and shunter drivers far more than the penny-pinching pay cut currently on offer. The drivers are absolutely essential to supplies, including Irn-Bru.
