Union bosses warn of cash shortages at supermarkets as G4S workers vote to strike

By Emily Hawkins

Some 1,200 cash and coin delivery workers employed by G4S are set to walk out, with union bosses warning of shortages at Tesco shops and JD Wetherspoon pubs.

Union GMB said this would mark the first ever industrial action for G4S workers, with a strike set to begin at 3am on Monday 4 December.

Some 97 per cent of employees who took part in a vote for strike action backed a walk out over pay.

Staff at the security firm deliver cash to high street retailers including Tesco, Asda and Aldi, in addition to servicing banks such as Barlcays, HSBC and Santander.

G4S has been approached for comment by CityA.M.
