Irn-Bru supplies face disruption as AG Barr drivers walk out in first day of strike
Trucker and shunter drivers, who are essential to the supply of the company’s products, walked out today at AG Barr's production and distribution centre in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire.
The strike comes after workers rejected a 5 per cent wage rise by AG Barr, who make Irn-Bru, which Unite said equates to a "significant, real-terms pay cut" due to inflation.Andy Brown, Unite industrial officer, said: "Unite's members have no option but to take strike action because AG Barr stubbornly refuses to give its loyal workforce a fair share of its sparkling profits.
"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.
