Unite members at Collins Aerospace in Kilkeel, County Down are to commence a first, one-day strike in a pay dispute tomorrow [Friday 26 September]. Workers at the site are seeking a cost-of-living pay increase.

The strike action will commence at 00.01 on Friday 26 September with pickets forming from 5 am in the morning.
