Despite looming strike threats at the Cargill facility in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, manufacturers have assured that there will be no chocolate shortage, especially during the crucial Christmas season. The GMB Union, representing workers at the site, had previously raised concerns about a potential shortage affecting popular products like Ferrero Rocher.
Cameron Mitchell, GMB Organizer, emphasized the significance of the situation: “The spectre of Christmas without this beloved yuletide treat would be devastating. That’s exactly what’s on the cards if company bosses don’t act urgently to avoid strike action. Workers aren’t demanding gold-wrapped payouts, instead, they’re asking for a pay packet that covers the bills.”
