STAFF at the Co-op’s only coffin factory in Britain are taking further strike action in an ongoing dispute over pay, their union announced today.

Unite confirmed that about 50 coffin-makers at the firm’s Glasgow factory in Govan began walkouts on Wednesday, which will run continuously until January 16.

The industrial action, which comes after the union accused bosses of failing to make an acceptable offer to resolve the dispute, means the workers have entered their fourth month of strikes.
