Power station strikes staved off by engineering pay deal

摘要

A strike planned by workers on power station projects across the UK may have been averted by an eleventh-hour deal to increase pay for engineering workers. The GMB union had balloted workers at seven sites across the UK, including Sellafield in Cumbria. However, a senior union figure said a meeting on Friday between GMB and Unite, and the Engineering and Construction Industry Association (ECIA), seems to have resolved the dispute.
