Workers at a West Cumbrian plant are set to take further strike action over pay.
Around 250 members of the Unite union at James Walker in Cockermouth are planning to walk out from October 15 to October 17 and October 22 to October 24.
Unite said the firm did not budge on its below-inflation offer of 3 per cent, despite repeated attempts at negotiation by the union.
James Walker and Co is a privately owned global industrial business, which supplies high-performance fluid sealing products to virtually every industry sector.
The group made £12m in profit last year while the Cockermouth site made a £1.2m profit, Unite said.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “James Walker is highly profitable and can afford to offer its hardworking staff a much better offer.
“Unite will back our workers at James Walker every step of the way in their fight for fairer pay.”
Workers at the Cockermouth site already walked out for 24 hours on September 22.
Unite claimed the walkout cost the company an estimated £100,000 in lost revenue, although that has not been confirmed.
It was the first strike that had taken place at the site.
There is also an ongoing overtime ban in place.
The members involved in the dispute are responsible for manufacturing, moulding, inspecting, documenting, packing and shipping of all products.
Unite regional officer Ryan Armstrong said: “Our workers deserve a much better pay rise and will not back down. Strikes can be stopped by James Walker but this involves management coming back to the negotiating table with a much improved offer.”
