Heinz has issued a statement saying: “We have emphasised that we want these to be meaningful and two-way discussions.
“We have also confirmed that the current offer of the equivalent of 4% increase this year and 3% next, which for the vast majority in the second year is worth between 3.6% and 4.6%, is still on the table for now. It remains well above our competitors and average weekly earnings which are increasing by 1.7%.
“Unite indicated towards the end of last week they were prepared to meet if there was a willingness to discuss an improvement to the current offer but a meeting without pre-conditions to these discussions is the best way forward”
