Workers at a Derbyshire commercial flooring business are planning to stage a series of 48-hour walkouts in a dispute over pay.

More than 70 production staff at Forbo Flooring 海角视频, who are members of the Unite union, are set to strike at the High Holborn Road factory in Codnor, near Ripley, over a “culture of staff being undervalued and disrespected”.

In total, 10 strikes are planned, with the first starting on October 15, followed by further walkouts throughout the rest of the month and into November and December.

This will be accompanied by a continuous overtime ban starting on 15 October.

According to the union, Unite members voted 61% in favour of strike action and by 60% for industrial action short of strike action to reject a 2.2% pay offer.

Unite regional officer Cheryl Pidgeon said: “Our members will be striking for the first time in recent years over a paltry pay offer that does not keep pace with the soaring cost of living.

“The current poor employment relations at the Ripley site are compounded by a culture which, we say, undervalues and disrespects our members.”

Forbo Flooring 海角视频 is owned by Swiss-based Forbo Holding AG. According to Unite, two European directors are due to fly to the 海角视频 today for a “crunch meeting” with the union.
