Workers in the whisky industry are considering a new pay offer and have suspended strike action.

Chivas Brothers who use more than 1,500 workers have had around a third of their workers who are members of Unite announce strike action.

Strikes were due to take place across 21 sites with an overtime ban with short-notice bans.

Unite industrial officer Andy Brown said, “Unite has been in intense negotiations with Chivas Brothers since we announced our rolling programme of strike action.

“Following the latest round of talks we have agreed to put a new pay offer to our 500-strong Chivas Brothers membership for consideration.

“Unite has taken the decision to suspend all forthcoming industrial action until our membership has had the opportunity to vote on the merits of this new offer.”
