ArcelorMittal's UK cutting center workers in Willenhall go on strike over low pay. Unions indicated that workers rejected a 7% pay rise because it would mean real wages would be reduced given rising inflation.

The workers have already taken four days of strike action, including Tuesday, September 26, with further action planned for October 5, 6, 9 and 10. The union said that if the dispute can not be resolved, the strike action will intensify, and the strike will cause severe disruption to the factory's operations.

A spokesman for ArcelorMittal said that mitigation plans have been implemented to minimize the impact on the company's operations. Other company divisions will handle any customer orders affected by the action.
