BAE Systems workers have announced a further three-week strike in a dispute over pay. More than 1,000 union members at the aerospace company’s sites in Warton and Samlesbury in Lancashire and over 200 design team members will strike until at least 20 February. The Unite Union said it was because BAE’s “negotiations over pay and conditions saw offers altered at the last minute or withdrawn entirely.” The defence giant lost a High Court bid in November to prevent employees from walking out at its Lancashire factories.
