The Unite union has warned there could be a “shortage of Christmas turkeys” as a result of its planned industrial action and that families “could see empty tables this Christmas”.
It accused Culina of playing the role of Scrooge and said: “Despite being in pay negotiations since April, no offer has been made to drivers who have been left with little choice but to take industrial action.”
The union also warned more strike dates could be announced if the company did not come back to the negotiating table with an improved offer.
Culina and Avara have been approached by the BBC for a response.
The logistics firm is part of the Müller group with its headquarters in Market Drayton.
