Unite union accuses Eddie Stobart, AG Barr and Streamline of ‘illegal activity’ as HGV drivers continue strike action

The Unite union said it had reported Irn-Bru maker AG Barr, as well as contractors Eddie Stobart and Streamline, to the department for business and trade for what it alleged was ‘illegal activity’, writes Chris Tindall.

In a move that will ratchet up the tension amid an ongoing dispute between the union, its member HGV drivers and the drinks maker at AG Barr’s distribution centre in Cumbernauld, the trade union said it was demanding an investigation into the beverage giant.

Unite claimed there had been potential use of agency labour through the two contractors during previous rounds of strike action.

The union added it was also calling for possible enforcement action to be taken.
