Tarmac Building Products is trying to head off threatened strike action at its Essex plant.
The company will hold further talks with Unite officials this week after the union announced plans for a series of 24-hour stoppages starting on January 30.
Negotiations between both sides have been ongoing since before Christmas.
The dispute centres on terms and conditions for news starters at the Stanford Le Hope block-making plant.
A ballot for strike action produced a yes vote with further strikes planned on February 6, 8 20, 22 and March 20 and 22.
Unite Regional Officer Guy Langston said: “Tarmac’s plan to cut pay for new starters is the thin edge of the wedge. Our members believe that if this is unchallenged it will lead to further attacks on terms and conditions.
“Strike action will create serious disruption to Tarmac’s business but managers have brought this on themselves.”
