DHL staff at Jaguar Land Rover vote to strike

Up to 300 DHL logistics workers based at Jaguar Land Rover have voted to begin an indefinite strike in a dispute over pay, the Unite union has confirmed.

The workers, responsible for delivering parts and cars to JLR's Solihull factory, will begin indefinite strike action on 7 May over the failure of DHL to put forward a pay offer for 2026, which was usually implemented every January, the union said.

Unite's general secretary Sharon Graham, said: "DHL is hugely profitable, it can more than afford to put forward an acceptable pay offer."

The BBC has approached DHL and JLR for comment.

DHL HGV drivers working on the JLR contract in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Solihull and Widnes have also voted in favour of strike action, with dates yet to be announced.
