The GMB pointed to the “soaring” interim financial results of the firm, which has sites in Bonnybridge and Grangemouth, and urged management to give employees a suitable pay award.
According to the GMB the company has shown a 28 per cent rise in profits for the last six months and net sales are up 14.5 per cent.
GMB’s membership across Diageo’s Scottish operations are undertaking a consultation ahead of collective bargaining for the 2017/18 pay award, having recently negotiated a new settlement for pension reforms across the company.
Louise Gilmour, GMB Scotland organiser, said: “These soaring results show there is momentum everywhere in Diageo’s business, but the strong foundations have been built by the skills of Scottish workers – it’s time to give the workers their fair share.”
