Carling workers at Burton-on-Trent face £9,000 pay cut - or the Sack

Unite members at Molson Coors Brewery in Burton-on-Trent are asking for your support

As you may be aware, Unite members employed at Molson Coors brewery – makers of Carling lager - have been told they must take a £9,000 pay cut or face the sack.

This is totally unacceptable. Our members face losing their homes if management’s proposals (link to proposals on website) go ahead. And a cut in their pay will hit our communities hard – very hard.

We are now gearing up our members for strike action – and we will stop them – a yes vote is expected on 28 May.
