Unite Scotland members at the Cumbernauld-based DHL Supply Chain will take industrial action after a long-running dispute over pay and the future of the site.

Over 350 workers, mainly warehouse and logistics operatives, rejected management’s offer of  2% increase a year for two years and over 90% of ballot papers returned in favour of strike action.  This takes place against a backdrop of €53 billion in global revenue generated in 2011 for the German logistics giant.
