Construction unions have claimed victory in their long-running industrial dispute at the Sellafield nuclear plant after subcontractors agreed to install a full-time health and safety convener on the site. The deal was secured after meetings between union officials and the 14-strong group of Sellafield subcontractors last week, with the unions subsequently confirming a "full withdrawal of all industrial action". The new convener will investigate workers' welfare and health and safety issues, as well as acting as a link between the unions and subcontractors.
