Peterborough brick makers to begin strike
Workers at a firm which makes bricks will start a six-week strike today (April 8).
Members of the GMB union at Hanson Brick in Peterborough, will take action amid complaints that the company was trying to cut holiday entitlement.
The strike follows a reorganisation which came into effect after the closure of brick works at Whittlesey in Cambridgeshire.
