<p>Workers at food giant Heinz are to go on strike in a pay row.</p>
<p>Unite said its members at the firm&#8217;s factory in Wigan will walk out for 24 hours from next Wednesday evening and launch a continuous ban on overtime.</p>
<p>The action was agreed at a mass meeting after workers rejected a pay offer of 3.3% this year and 3% the following year.</p>
<p>Unite warned that the stoppage will lead to two million fewer cans, including Heinz beans and soups, being produced.</p>
<p>Speaking after the mass meeting, Jennie Formby, Unite&#8217;s national officers for food and drink, said: &#8220;The mood of the meeting was angry and determined. Heinz have left our members with no choice but to stand firm and fight for a fair pay deal.</p>
<p>&#8220;They are treating its loyal and long-serving workforce disgracefully. It&#8217;s our members that helped them make its vast profits yet they are still refusing to table an improved offer that reflects their hard work.</p>
<p>&#8220;Make no mistake, this strike will hit Christmas production.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our members are absolutely determined to win fair pay and we are determined to see that they get it. Unless Heinz forks out a fairer deal, then strike action will go ahead.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just over 1,100 workers will be involved in the strike.</p>
