BMW UK Employees Set First Strike in Over 20 Years

The effects of Brexit are starting to show as the BMW UK’s employees call for the first strike in more than 20 years.

Employees’ main goal is to protest change of the pension scheme. They have scheduled the first 8-day-long strike for April 19 at the plants which make MINI vehicles and parts: in Cowley, Swindon, and Hams Kall, as said by the Unite union. The statement by Len McCluskey, the Unite general secretary, read:

BMW’s bosses need to get their heads out of the sand and recognize their pension-pinching plans will not go unchallenged.

There is a possibility for shifting the production to Netherlands.
