More than 1,000 Ford employees will go on strike from tomorrow, the Unite union has said.

Administrative workers in Dunton, Stratford, Dagenham, Daventry and Halewood will walk out for 24 hours over a long-running dispute about pay and contract changes.

Performance-related pay will be imposed from next year for all staff.

Ford has been contacted for comment.
