The union says the Co-op has spent cash buying coffins from outside suppliers, instead of using the money to offer a pay rise.

A strike over pay at coffin makers in Glasgow is to continue as workers say the company has failed to make an improved offer.

“Second, they didn’t take account of the resilience of the workers. Management are clearly trying to break their own loyal workforce. “ “Management would rather fork out cash to other coffin suppliers in the hope of breaking our members’ resolve than to put a fraction of that money towards solving this dispute.”

A spokesperson for Co-op, said: “We are disappointed to be facing further strike action relating to pay from colleagues in our coffin factory, particularly given our recent pay offer, which represented a significant increase for colleagues. We were disappointed that Unite chose not to even ballot their members on this offer.
