Workers at BMW to stage series of strikes amid row over pensions

Workers at car giant BMW are to stage a series of eight 24-hour strikes from later this month in a dispute over pensions.

Members of Unite will walk out at different locations from April 19 until May 24, following a huge vote in favour of industrial action.

Unite said the strikes will “significantly disrupt” production of cars including the Mini.

The union said closure of the BMW occupational pension scheme by the end of May could see some workers lose up to £160,000 in retirement income.
