Workers at Aston Martin in Gaydon in Warwickshire and Newport Pagnall in Buckinghamshire are to start industrial action next Friday (13th).

The Transport and General Workers Union today confirmed there will be a one hour stoppage at the end of the shift that day. At the same time a continuous ban on overtime will start along with a refusal to work ‘stand-up’ time as part of the flexible work agreement.

The action is part of the dispute over pay in which 70% voted in favour of strike action and 76% voted in favour of action short of a strike in a ballot where nearly 8 out of 10 took part.
