COURIER company DHL/UK Mail is facing industrial action after sacking 20 drivers who refused to accept £2,000 pay cuts, trade unionists reported yesterday.
The GMB union said that drivers at depots across Britain were “frogmarched” into offices last month, placed under duress and told to sign a contract incorporating the pay cut or their services would no longer be required.
Twenty refused to sign and were subsequently sacked.
