<p>The <a href="http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/marshalls-plc-drivers-set-industrial-11224692" target="_blank">Huddersfield Daily Examiner reports</a> "<span>Union Unite said it expects to ballot drivers who deliver to builders’ merchants from 14 Marshalls manufacturing sites UK-wide – and warned that industrial action could cause severe disruption to the building trade."</span></p>
<p><span>"<span>Marshalls’ two biggest customers are Travis Perkins with 1,900 outlets and Jewson with more than 600 branches. The proposed ballot comes as retailers gear up for an expected rise in seasonal demand for stone paving from home improvers and builders."</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>"<span>Unite said the overtime dispute was given “extra piquancy” by the fact that Marshalls chief executive Martyn Coffey received an 87% rise in his remuneration package last year, taking his pay to more than £2m."</span></span></span></p>
