    "excerpt": "Share A strike over job cuts at the largest grain distillery in Scotland begins on Monday, with a trade union saying the plant will be brought to a 'standstill'. Drinks giant Diageo has introduced a huge programme of job cuts, with 2,000 roles to go across its operations. Members of Unite at its Cameronbridge distillery have backed strike action, with 72 roles under review at the plant and up to 10 job losses. Workers will gather for a protest at the main gate of the distillery from 05.00 to coincide with the start of industrial disruption with pickets taking place throughout the day until 22.00. Read More: Specific groups of workers thereafter will be taking industrial action until 15 October with pickets taking place on each day of strike action. GMB members have also walked out in recent weeks. Unite believes Diageo has failed to properly consult on the job cuts at Cameronbridge, and the company has provided no explanation and minimal detail on the proposed redundancies. In its latest registered accounts, Diageo Scotland recorded after tax profit of £595m for 2025, and £736m in 2024. Unite general secretary, Sharon Graham said: “The company is making hundreds of millions of profit but its management appear hell-bent on causing widespread disruption to its workforce and supplies because of corporate greed. That’s completely unacceptable, and we will fight it all the way.”...",
