M&S Drivers' Strike Looms
It looks likely today that deliveries to Marks and Spencer stores throughout the UK will be hit by a threatened drivers' strike.
Some 100 staff at worldwide courier company DHL's centre in Mallusk near Belfast and two depots in England are considering walking out after a pay freeze, the union Unite said.
A spokesman also revealed they are currently balloting on possible strike action.
If the action by Unite is given the go-ahead, all the M&S stores in Ireland, the midlands and the north of England will be severely affected.
