Scotland: DHL drivers may strike

Several hundred drivers for DHL are to be balloted for strike action in Scotland by the GMB union.

DHL is planning major restructuring which could lead to 3,000 permanent staff being replaced with around 2,500 casual workers. Around 700 of the jobs under threat are expected to go in Scotland. The strike would include delivery centres in Paisley, Kilmarnock, Bellshill and Mossend.
