That's how the cookie crumbles: Britain's longest chocolate strike ends with inflation-busting near double pay offer

BRITAIN’S longest chocolate strike ended today with an inflation-busting 10.4 per cent pay rise for workers.  

GMB announced its members had ended their seven-week action at Nottinghamshire’s Cargill Chocolate after bosses nearly doubled their previous offer.
