A spokesperson from Colgate
confirmed strike action has been taken by the EPMU as part
of the union's renegotiation of its existing collective
agreement.
"It is disappointing that the union decided
strike action was necessary when Colgate has offered a 5%
wage increase for a term of 15 months.”
“As we are still
in negotiations with the union, it is inappropriate for us
to provide further comment," the company spokesperson
added.
