BBC NewsWorkers at Lincat, which manufactures commercial kitchen appliances for restaurants and pubs, began a week-long walkout on Monday.
The Unite union said staff had "suffered years of erosion to the value of their wages" and were demanding an inflation-matching rise of 9.7%.Staff picketed at Lincat's Whisby Road headquarters from 05:00 BST on Monday. Unite said more than 100 of its members were striking, including staff in welding, assembly and safety testing. It said the company faced "serious disruption" and potential delays in fulfilling orders.
Lincat made £8.9m operating profits in the year to January 2022, according to its latest financial returns. Productive operative Timothy Cheddarton, who was among those striking, said workers had been rewarded for the company's success with "a cupcake or quarter of a pizza every now and then".
