Tata Motors’ possessed Jaguar Land Rover production line in the United Kingdom may seize up within a few days after delivery staff from DHL approved stir, asking for a hefty pay increase and related rules and regulations on par with the JLR workforce.

The workforce of logistics head DHL, which has around 1,800 employees at JLR’s 3 key plants — 1,000 between Solihull and Castle Bromwich in the Midlands and 800 at Halewood, Merseyside, carry out a main role in managing warehouse processes and bringing components to assembly lines.

“The dread is that manufacture could stop in a matter of hours without components reaching the line,” a source stated.

DHL personnel often work alongside with colleagues on better paid JLR deals and are asking for a large pay increase to put them on related rules and regulations.

Unite, their labor union, voted DHL staff at JLR’s 2 facilities in the Midlands during the past week and around 74% chose taking industrial act.

Those at Halewood are due to vote tomorrow and a similar result is projected.

As per the newspaper, DHL has offered a 4.5 per cent pay increase during the first twelve month period, beginning from January 2013, in addition to a 3% or inflation addition by 2014.

But, this is well short of the demand from Unite that wishes for a 12.8% increase over 2 years for staff, who sort vehicle components and bring them to the assembly line, in addition to a 20.6% increase in the phase for drivers.

Jaguar Land Rover is not involved in the argument as administrators are worried any involvement could ignite secondary act from their individual workforce, a lot of them are also associates of Unite.

Any blackout could potentially dent JLR’s position as the main exporter of manufactured goods in the United Kingdom.

Sales of its luxury cars in China, Russia and America have boomed in the past two years, and it is one of the most profitable carmakers in the world under the Tata Group.

In the month of May, the firm had disclosed record yearly pre-tax income of 1.68 billion pounds and is making an investment of around 2.7 billion pounds in 2013 to assist commence new models to keep pace with growing demand from the rising economic systems of India as well as China.
