KP workers fed up with ‘being paid peanuts’ and will vote on strike action

ANGRY workers at KP Snacks fed up with “being paid peanuts” while the company increases its profits are to vote for strike action, their union Unite has said.

Despite the company’s recent £54 million profit — having increased its profits by 275 per cent since 2018 — average pay at KP Snacks has fallen in real terms by 14 per cent since 2018.

About 135 workers at KP Snacks, including low-paid cleaners, will begin voting on strike action today.
