Co-op coffin factory workers begin further strike action over pay

Action by coffin makers at Glasgow site to continue until 16 January in months-long dispute

Workers at the Co-op’s only UK coffin factory, in Scotland, have gone on strike again in a months-long row over pay.

The Unite union said coffin makers at the Funeralcare site in Govan, Glasgow, began strike action on Wednesday that would run continuously through to 16 January. There have been several week-long strikes since October.
