environmental news & information about the UK electricity supply industry
Firefighters at the Sellafield nuclear site have agreed to take industrial action in a dispute over pay. A spokesman for the GMB union, which represents 63 firefighters at the site, said the action would be 24-hour strikes starting in July. He said members felt they were not getting the right pay and were doing work above their role. Sellafield Ltd said further talks are planned for 30 June but “arrangements are in place” to cope with action.
