    Hundreds of workers at a Grimsby fish factory are being pressurised into accepting changes to terms and conditions or face the sack, according to union leaders.

    Unite has accused Icelandic Seachill of slashing overtime rates to offset the cost of the new compulsory living wage.

    Workers at the Laforey Road site have until today to decide whether to accept the proposals. 

    The company says most employees will be better off and changes are designed to make it more efficient.

    Kenny Davis' second-half penalty gave Braintree a slender advantage from their National League play-off semi-final first leg at Grimsby.

    After a first half of few chances, Josh Gowling was adjudged to have brought down Simeon Akinola in the box and Iron captain Davis slotted in from the spot.

    Mariners forward Padraig Amond was then denied from close range by both keeper Tom King and defender Matt Fry.

    The Iron held on to take a lead into Sunday's second leg at Cressing Road.
