Sellafield contractors strike over safety

摘要

Construction workers from nine subcontracting companies involved in the decommissioning and renewal project at the Sellafield plant in Cumbria have been striking over safety after their employers and the nuclear giant refused to allow a full time union convenor at the site. Members of the Unite union working for Balfour Beatty Engineering Construction Services, Cape Industrial Services, Focus Scaffolding, Hertel UK, Interservice Industrial Services, Jacobs Stobbarts, Meldrum, Mitie Facilities Services, and PPS Electrical imposed an overtime ban and work to rule policy from 27 August.
