Spalding Bakkavor Factory Strike Ends After Workers Accept New Offer Spalding Bakkavor Factory Strike Ends After Workers Accept New Offer

Workers at the Bakkavor factory went on strike and picketed outside, wanting better pay. They are members of Unite the Union. This factory sits on West Marsh Road in Spalding.

The strike started back in September. Union members voted on a new offer and decided to accept it, so the workers are now heading back. The strike officially ended.

Sam Hennessey, who works for the Unite union, spoke about the situation and mentioned future campaigns. They want better conditions for food workers, as many face financial issues in Lincolnshire.

The Bakkavor factory makes food for big stores such as Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury’s, and Coop. Workers initially walked out on September 27.

Protest signs appeared in Iceland, targeting a major company shareholder. The strike even affected shoppers, as there was a taramasalata shortage last month.

Workers marched in Spalding during October, and hundreds joined to show support. Police came to the factory in February too, addressing reports about blocked vehicles.

Workers returned to work on March 14. The union hasn’t shared details about the new pay, so we don’t know the specific terms yet.
