Mini car workers balloting for strike action over pay
Discussion
They are unhappy that the 6% proposed rise is dependent on an extra 30 hrs work PER YEAR and part of it is bonus.
Now, 30 hrs per year is about 37 minutes a week.
Maybe they all just want BMW to move production somewhere else?

Saw this in the comments section below. Love random trolling like this.
"As a White woman with a Mexican CHOLO GANGSTER boyfriend with a shaved head & tattoos from Los Angeles California USA, I drive a British Mini-Car in this city. Within the West Side of Los Angeles, this is a very popular automobile for the educated & trendy people like myself & many others. In Los Angeles & throughout America, we drive on the left side unlike the British who drive on the right side. But my Mexican CHOLO GANGSTER boyfriend has a 1985 LOWRIDER Chevrolet Monte Carlo that has a wider body & has funky rims with loud speakers in the back. Hopefully the British will resolve their Labor problems because the British Mini-Car is a very popular vehicle."

How random and far off the point can you possibly get, essáy!"As a White woman with a Mexican CHOLO GANGSTER boyfriend with a shaved head & tattoos from Los Angeles California USA, I drive a British Mini-Car in this city.

ETA: We should ask her about the Mexican VW Beetle.
I don't think BMW will move production due to this single rejection of pay. They're much cleverer than most British manufacturers where in the 70's when it comes to managing their workforce and they are producing a premium product that doesn't compete solely on price. The union have only rejected the deal, they've not even balloted any strike action yet (they will of course to add weight to their point, after all they got a 97% rejection of the pay deal so there is little risk in doing so).
BL (to be specific BMH) where on a trajectory before most of the union problems started due to amalgamation of individual brands, even with complete co-operation from the unions I don't believe BL would have survived. They probably over relied on price point to sell inferior products and unfortunately that's not a strategy I've seen work too often.
