GXO Logistics (UNITE) Strike Calendar

Unite has warned that if the company fails to come back to the negotiating table with an improved pay offer, then a series of strike dates will run through November, December and into January 2026 (see notes to editor). The drivers are demanding an improvement on the current pay offer and a rate which would bring them into line with other GXO drivers working on other contracts based out of Motherwell. The current wage gap between the drivers and others placed on different delivery contracts is estimated at around 10 per cent.

Unite members will now strike from Tuesday 28 May until Tuesday 18 June. New dates for the warehouse worker walkout have been announced to include weekend shifts – causing further disruption to food and beverage distribution across the capital.

The affected warehouse workers take home just over £12 an hour and are suffering from the impacts of the cost-of-living crisis as a result, while rates for HGV drivers are also below market rates.
