In Scotland, Unite union members at Diageo's Cameronbridge distillery in Fife will strike from September 28 to October 15 over proposed job cuts. The distillery is Europe's largest grain distillery, and the union says the action will halt production. Diageo plans to cut up to 10 roles as part of a global restructuring, which the union claims will lead to hundreds of job losses across Scotland. Unite's leaders accuse Diageo of making huge profits while cutting jobs, and warn of supply disruptions. Diageo says the cuts are necessary for competitiveness and remains open to talks.
