  1. >More than 750 of about 800 workers at the plant, who help make 4,000 tons of crackers every year, say they will strike until bosses agree to negotiate on pay.

    That’s the factory cream crackered then

  2. The originator of the Jacob’s brand name was the small biscuit bakery, W. & R. Jacob, founded in 1851 in Bridge Street, Waterford, Ireland, by William Beale Jacob and his brother Robert. It later moved to Bishop Street in Dublin, Ireland, with a factory in Peter’s Row. A factory in Aintree, Liverpool, was opened in 1914.

    Jacob’s Bishop Street premises was one of several prominent Dublin buildings occupied by rebels during the Easter Rising of 1916. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%27s

  3. “sun lite uplands” nope, lower pay, or we move the factory to the EU.

    That being said, its nice to know, I do enjoy their Cheese Chedders, so if I stop seeing them in store, I will know why.

  4. This is the way to do it! None of this day here and there business. Anti trade union laws have made that a feckless venture with a 12 week time limit. Businesses more than happy to absorb the backlog and let service take a hit for a few days before catching back up. Hit them hard and fast!
