Workers Protest Against Unilever's 'Scrooge' Treatment

Workers at Unilever are protesting against 'Scrooge' tactics used by the company which has cancelled all Christmas parties and gifts for the strikers. 


Unilever has instead donated items to charity saying that the demonstrations have made gifts inappropriate. The dispute follows Unilever's plans to end the final salary pension scheme. The proposal aims to cut the retirement income for staff by up to 40%.


The strike is bound to hit production of various Unilever brands including Dove, Pot Noodle and Marmite.
