Workers at German frozen seafood giant Frosta strike, calling for a larger slice of spiking profits

Around 100 employees of German frozen seafood giant Frosta went on strike last week over pay conditions, forcing production at the group's Bremerhaven plant to temporarily grind to a halt, and putting the company on notice that further strikes could be forthcoming.

Germany's Food-Enjoyment-Restaurants Union, Gewerkschaft Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (NGG), called for the action, which took place over three days last week.

The workers went on strike on May 31 for two hours, June 1 for eight hours and June 2 for a further eight hours, Dieter Nickel, a spokesman for the union, told IntraFish.
