Warning that biscuits could run out across the UK as factory workers vote to go on strike

Production of some of the UK’s favourite biscuits could be halted at an Edinburgh factory as staff plan to stage a series of strikes.

The GMB union said bosses at Burton’s Biscuits Co in Sighthill made a “derisory” pay offer, saying it shows management “do not value” the workers.

The manufacturer makes well-known biscuit brands including Jammie Dodgers and Wagon Wheels, Hull Live reports. GMB members at the plant voted by 91% for industrial action after management refused to increase a 1.6% pay offer for the next year, the union said.

An indefinite work to rule and overtime ban begins from 2pm on Tuesday ahead of a series of 24-hour strikes, with the first starting at 6am the following morning.
