Some 42 engineers will hold industrial action for two six-hour spells on Tuesday (21 April) and Thursday, the Unite union said today.
Unite said the workers were "angry" at an offer of a 1% pay increase for the year, starting on 1 August 2014, with a further 2% from 1 August this year.
Speaking to just-food this afternoon, 2 Sisters said it was "working hard" to avoid the strike but indicated any industrial action would not hit supplies to customers.
"We are still in dialogue with Unite and their members and working hard to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution and avoid this. However, in the event of action taking place, we do not expect this to impact on our service to customers," a spokesperson said.
