Thousands of Cadent gas workers are to go on a 48-hour strike later this month in a dispute over pay. Around 2,000 members of the GMB Union will down tools for two days on Monday (May 30) and Tuesday (May 31).

Union bosses have warned that the industrial action could lead to some outages at homes and businesses across England, including the North West.

The strike is taking place as deals over pay and conditions reached a halt. Workers rejected a below inflation pay increase of 2 per cent for 2021 and 4 per cent from July 22.

GMB bosses say that, with inflation running at 11.1 per cent, the deal amounts to a ‘massive real terms’ pay cut.
